The Usborne list of nearly 3,000 titles ranges from playful
baby books to thought-provoking young adult fiction, and includes activity
books, gift books, levelled reading books (check out the levels and AR books here), lift-the-flap information books and
of course Sticker Dolly Dressing and That’s not my… touchy-feely books. There
really is an Usborne book for every child, from birth to teen, all displaying
the trusted Usborne balloon.
Here are a few key features:
- High picture-to-text ratio – lots of pictures integrated into the text make the books less intimidating to reluctant readers!
- Double-page spreads – most of our non-fiction books have these. When my son was young and didn’t want to read, he was always willing to read at least two pages full of non-fiction information.
- Bite-sized chunks of knowledge –the information is presented in quick ‘bites,’ which appeals to every reader, especially those with attention-deficit concerns.
- Flaps and slots – a lot of our books are very ‘hands on’ and appeal to tactile learners. This makes reading interactive.
- Cut-away illustrations – because of all of the detail, this
engages the reader.
Here's an example of a cut-away illustration. - Internet-links – safe websites that correlate directly to the topics (time-savers!). Click here to take a look!
- Chapter books – interesting and engaging, but easy enough for new readers or struggling readers to build confidence.
- Award-winning – our books have been weighed and measured by the best-of-the-best in the publishing world, and we’ve come out on top again and again.
