I have purchased several Usborne books for my family. What I love about them is that they are often multi-sensory like the lift-the-flap books, that keep kids attention and give them interesting facts at their fingertips. The books come in many many subjects so you can customize your home library. They are a great resource and keeps your child learning!!

Our bookshelves are over flowing with Usborne Books. They have captured my children's attention since they were infants. I highly recommend their Very First Reading set if you have a child that is just learning to read. The only con I hear from some, include their science books. They are a secular company, so you will find science books that state millions of years among other things. If you do not believe this theory, I believe these books can still be used as a great discussion tool. We love our Usborne books!!!

I purchased several books from an online party recently. I am most excited about the Very First Reading set. Each book has text on the left-hand page for parents to read then text on the right-hand page for the kids to read. It starts with CVC words. This way the kids can read right away and it's interesting. My 8yo loves the Pet Vet series and my 9yo loves his step-by-step drawing book.

I have fond memories of reading Usborne books as a homeschooled child. Rocks, Middle Ages, and so many other topics. The layout and pictures held my interest for hours!

I love the variety of quality materials available with Usborne. When I first started inquiring about homeschooling, so many other families told me to check out Usborne, and I'm so glad I did! My boys particularly love the "That's Not My..." Collection.

My children and I love these books. The illustrations are great. The books cover so many topics. Even though they sometimes conflict with our beliefs, it gives us an opportunity to discuss why we believe what we believe.

We have been reading and using Usborne books since our daughter was born. They were a fantastic way to start out reading to a newborn, and the baby books are fantastic. Now, with our schooling at a grade 1-2 level, we use them to supplement our curriculum.

My son loves the lift the flap books, the dry erase books, and even listened to a 100 page chapter book in only two sittings.

We have been using Usborne books in our homeschooling for a few years now. Our favorite is the Usborne Art Treasury. We're pairing it with youtube videos about the artists and then creating our own art based on the project ideas in the book. Great resources and well written books.

We adore usborne books. We started our journey with the preschool books such as the touchy feely "thats not my..." books and the find it books that build vocabulary and beginning reading skills. Ted and friends collection was used to help my son while learning phonics. Now we are enjoying the beginner series. Excellent books for independent or guided reading that explore a wide variety topics. They have helped foster a love for reading in my children. We have several of the collection books that we use for bedtime stories. I also love the replacement policy. I have heard concern over alignment with a biblical world view. We haven't had any trouble yet other than a dinosaur book, but it was anticipated. We used it as a conversation opportunity.

Usborne books are the BEST! We have fallen in love and use some as a spine. They have every subject, age, level, learning and fun. High quality and great prices. We have a couple encyclopedias, beginning readers, and fairy tales. However our wishlist is huge!!!
