In addition to the wide variety of types of books, Usborne also has books in a wide variety of physical sizes too. Reading in the dark with a flashlight is such a novelty for kids, which might encourage them to read.

It also has a series of nonfiction books called "Shine A Light," in which readers use a flashlight to reveal hidden pictures. Even though she's only a year old, Ellie already loves to play with the bandages and grabs the toy off the track as I read to her.Īs kids get older, Usborne also offers fiction and nonfiction books with beautiful illustrations and cut-outs with longer text to help readers as they start the transition into chapter books. This is part of what the "busy books" series. There are a lot of interactive books for toddlers too, like "All Better," which has reusable bandages for kids to put on animals' boo-boos throughout the book, and "Busy Car Book" which has a small car that can be moved around the pages as you read to keep kids entertained. Ellie's favorite slide and see book is "Baby's Very First Slide and See Farm." Older babies would love what the brand calls "Touchy-Feely" and "Slide and See" books that don't have much text, but have textures and peek-a-boo slides instead to explore and play. I didn't know about Usborne when Ellie was still doing tummy time, but I wish I did because I would've definitely gotten these books to keep her entertained and happy. From newborns to teens and even adults, this company uses so many techniques to make the books interactive, fun, and interesting.įor newborns, there is a series of high contrast fold-out books for tummy time. With more than 2,000 titles (including more than 75 in Spanish), Usborne does an amazing job catering to every interest and age group. A study by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that among the many benefits, reading helps promote brain development in young children. It's important for kids to read every single day, but it's not always easy to get them to sit down and do it.
Ellie is 1-year-old now and it's still one of her favorites among our growing collection of Usborne books. The book includes realistic sounds, finger trails, and cut outs. She would even play with the book on her own and it was one of the first books she "read" to herself. With "Garden Sounds", she would sit there mesmerized while I read the entire book to her.
She was about nine months old at the time, and while she loved books in general, her attention span was maybe one page. When Ellie got her first Usborne book "Garden Sounds," she was instantly obsessed. Books are books - what was it about these that made them more special than what we already had at home? I decided to buy a few books when one of my friends hosted an online Usborne book party to find out.
I love reading to Ellie, but when I first started hearing about Usborne Books from friends, I was pretty skeptical. Well, she's only a year old, but she already has way more books than I do. I've always wanted my daughter Ellie to have a huge home library too. I'm an English teacher and writer, so it should come as no surprise that I love books - and have a ton of them.
