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.
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.
