"Mercury launched the Childcraft label in association with the respected 
children's brand of the same name (1952).  That's it.
The book is not a study of all kids labels but does place his various 
subjects in context.  Childcraft is in a list of the other kids labels.

Does Bonner's book have any details on the Mercury Storyteller series? I 
am pretty sure they were made in Chicago but don't know any details on the 
actors, producer(s), etc? Also whether it was a 3rd party endeavor that 
Mercury released or whether it was Mercury-generated project. Also where 
it was recorded, when, etc?? Those Storyteller records were a major part 
of the soundtrack of my childhood. Also Golden Books' records (many 
produced and/or conceived by Mitch Miller).  And some series of "science 
music" records -- a song from which was later covered by of all people 
They Must Be Giants. And of course the Riverside Records series "A Child's 
Introduction To ..."
This guy has a large collection of kiddie records in mostly low-resolution
