It's that time again

Some of you know that I am an Usborne Book consultant. I strongly believe in reading good books to children which is why I signed up to sell these books. They are wonderful! Tonight I counted the Usborne books that were on J shelf (there are some in various other places too...under the bed, in backpack's, etc...you know how it is!) and I counted 65. Usborne books make up about 80% of our children's books. I just can't get enough of them!


The stores started reminding us that the Christmas season is almost upon us. It is a very busy season for the books so I wanted to get a bit of a head start. The closer to Christmas it gets, the more likely it is that the best books are on back order so I will be doing my big book order in the middle of November.


They have books for all ages and all reading levels. These are some of my favorites:


If you have young children, they'll love all their
touchy-feely books (they have TONS of them!).






This book is called "That's Not My Fairy". It's so cute
I had to buy it even though I don't have any girls!

(I would recommend all of the fairy books...my sis has a bunch of them and they are VERY cute!)









"Diggers" is an Ultimate Touchy-Feely book that the boys love. It's very cute too.






"Goose on the lose" is a Preschool/kindergarten, phonics reader book. They have a lot like this one and J LOVES them. They have a lot of rhyming words which has helped J learn to rhyme already.







This book is so cute too. The "monsters" have flaps over them that they can lift up and see what the monster really is. There's even a cute little surprise at the end.








I think "the Dinosaur who lost his Roar" is one of my all time very favorite books. This is one I think everyone should have. (In the First Reading category they have levels 1-4...this book is a level three which encourages young readers to develop reading "stamina"). It's one of J's favorites too.





The "Big Bug Search" is a little like Where's Waldo but with bugs instead. They have various types like this. My 9 year old Nephew really likes this one.

I bought "True Escape
Stories" for Hubby .
I haven't seen it, but he said he liked it.









They also have a lot of "informational" books like these on various topics.





I thought this one was appropriate for Halloween. It has some cute little stories in it that are supposed to be "spooky"!







They have SO many great books and they are competitively priced. The most expensive book I posted is about $15. They put out catalogs twice a year and I have lot's of the Jan-June ones left so if you are interested in placing an order I will send you one of those ones for free (a $4 value!! :o). Let me know ASAP so you can get in on this holiday order.

I wish I had more money to spend this Christmas or I would totally be in. I usually get my books from the library, but I wish I could own more. Good luck!
