Animals (Usborne First Words)

Usborne Books, 2002

Very cute picture book about animals!
If you want to teach your child about animals and their babies, then this picture book is for you. It just shows the animals and their names underneath, but is a very good book for a child just about to enter toddler age.

Busy Truck (Usborne Play Books)

Usborne Books, 2007

My 20 month old loves this book!
I think it's a shame no one has reviewed this great book so far, so here goes: We borrowed this book from the library and my son couldn't have enough of it so I bought it on Amazon. He simply loves books and trucks and this is one of his favorites. I have to animate it a little for him as I read (like, we pretend we open the door and put the balloons in, he makes the truck go and so on...) and ...

Farm (Chunkies)

A really nice, easy vocabulary builder for young kids
I just bought this for my 14 month old yesterday and already we're accomplished 'what does a cow say - moo' and what does a sheep say - baa baa.' Unlike many of the other vocabulary books for babies, this one only introduces a few words and pictures at a time. The format is very baby friendly. It's a thick board book where each page has its own tab making it easy for the babies to turn the ...

Love this series
We have quite a few books in this series and my son loves them. I was recently excited to hear that they also have a toilet training one.

King Arthur's Knight Quest (Fantasy Adventures)

2 reviews

Usborne Books, 2005

King Arthurs Knight Quest (Fantasy Adventure)
Aside from the illustrations, which span the entire page, the best feature of this oversized book is that when it's open it's literally the size of a television screen! This is a plus for the reader because it gives just one more reason to read the book, follow along in the incredible adventure, and let the imagination come alive instead of sitting mindlessly watching television. This book is a ...

Goodnight Baby (Usborne Baby's Day)

1 review
Francesca Allen, Felicity Brooks

Usborne Books, 2005

My daughter LOVES this book
I received this book as part of a set from a book club in the mail. The others were messy baby, playtime baby, and baby's potty. The books are great because the piece connected by a ribbon (the baby character) either can be fit into a space on the pages (like a puzzle piece) or used to pretend different scenerios on the pages (like climbing stairs, splashing in the tub, sitting in the highchair, ...

Childrens Encyclopedia: The Usborne Internet-Linked (First Encyclopedias)

Usborne Books, 2004

Great Resourse for a younger child
I have been homeschooling my 5 year old using the Usbourne Children's Encyclopedia. Great intro to social studies and geography. I just use one page at a time and make up a list of questions that I use afterwards to see if he remembers and if not we discuss the topic such as how are rainbows made again until he understands. Great for his attention span at this age. After this book, I plan to ...

Bedtime (Usborne Look and Say)

Usborne Publishing Ltd, 2006

fun & educational
My almost-2 year old loves this book. She compares the items on the pages to the real ones in the house. The illustrations are so detailed that there are lots of words to talk about. It's been her favorite for about 6 months and no signs of getting boring, yet.

THE GREAT BALLOON RACE
A WONDERFUL INTERACTIVE BOOK WITH A GOOD STORY AND EXCITING ADVENTURE. MY FIVE YEARS OLD SON ENJOYS IT A LOT. IT IS A STORY, A PUZZLE, AND A LEARNING ADVENTURE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Dracula (Library of Fear and Fantasy Series)

E.D.C. Publishing, 1996

Memory...
Midnight, not a... never mind! I read this book quite a few years ago, but I read it about fifteen times. I really enjoyed how simple it is. I know I am being childish, but if you compare this book to the Bram Stoker novel, you will see that you don't get any 'big' words in this copy. This copy is of course very short, but expressive! The story is in this book with all of the details (the grisly ...

The Great World Search (Great Searches - New Format)

Kamini Khanduri

Usborne Books, 2005

Best in the series!
This is our favorite Great Search book by Usborne. It has a few puzzle within a puzzle activities for older users, though it is still a simple and enjoyable search book for toddlers. Unless you plan to do every page with your child (all day, every day!), it may be best to give this to a toddler or child who can read. My four year old reads well enough to do the searches, but has not yet read ...

I love all Usborne books. My children love them and spend hours pouring over them. The pictures are great! I bought this book for my nephew. It is really cute! Check out other books in this series also depending on your child's intrests.

Usborne Publishing Ltd, 2004

a must-have for the toddler set
our daughter, now 22 months, loves this book. she has brought it to the doctor three times and asks for it all the time. it has been really helpful to show her daisy performing the same tasks and tests on her patients that elliott is to have done to her. when she begins to get upset at the doc, we pull out the book and look at it together and try to find objects in the office that we see in ...

Usborne Books, 2008

great book
My 20 month old granddaughter loves "birdies." This book was a hit with her. She loved to find the pictured bird on each page and excitedly turned the pages to find the next one. The board book pages are just right for her age, as well. Any preschooler would like it.

Find Out about Food and Eating Long Ago (Explainers Series)

1 review
Felicity Brooks

Topeka Bindery, 1989

A good Book
We use this book for our school at home program when discussing what people ate a long time ago. It is very clear, easy to understand and the pictures only enhance the subject of discussion on each page. This is much better for younger children rather than older children.
