Have you heard of Usborne Books & More? They are AWESOME books for kids!
Over 1500 bright, colorful and fun titles covering touchy-feely baby books, wonderful preschool picture books, early reading books, chapter books, reference books, sticker books, activity cards and a wide range of subjects for children of all ages.
We have many bookshelves in our house but this one is called the Usborne shelf. These are our Usbornes (with a few dvds and misc books). Can you tell I love them? I have always been an avid reader and so children's books are something I've always been addicted to. About five years ago I signed up with them as a consultant to work the business but most importantly to receive a lifetime discount :) They are a direct sales company like Tupperware or Pampered Chef and we do home parties, but can expand our business into the schools with book fairs. But the part I like best is our eShows. It doesn't matter where you are, you can host a show or give your guests a chance to order online with you reaping in the benefits. You will not find a company that gives out more free items for their hostesses and schools. It's crazy how much they get! (an example - $250 worth of orders can earn YOU as a hostess $80 in books!).
Some great facts about the books -
Quality is #1 - acid free paper, laminated covers, stitched binding or even library binding available. Lifetime replacement policy where they will replace the book at half price.
Affordablity - a majority of the 1500 books are under $10
Special Features include - lift the flap books to get the inside view, double layout pages (one scene taking over both sides of the page), words and text are simply placed encouraging your child to read, and my favorite - all preschool books illustrated by Stephen Cartwright has a duck to find on each page.
We moved a few times in the past couple of years and so my business had faded away. To celebrate me starting up again I have decided to do a GIVEAWAY! How lucky are you?
A few of our family favorites I want to share with you...
Baby P'Diddy loves it when his big brothers read to him but even better than that he can touch and feel the different textures that stick out!
O'Bear can read now but he still likes the Seek & Find books. This one is called 1001 Pirate Things to Spot.
One of my best sellers is 1001 Things to Spot in Fairyland. It is so sparkly and girly.
C'Man likes to look up subjects online. That is why this book Big Cats is perfect for him. It's IL or internet linked. Usborne has their own website where you key in what you are reading, and even what page number you are on, and they will list a bunch of family friendly websites to find more information about that subject.
One of my all time favorites. A little penguins journey to discover how much a million really is. The best part? In the back of the book is a take out poster with 1,000,000 stars on it! It's huge! And the kids love it!
And some my Greenies will enjoy :)

I loved books as a kid and I remember that my favorite book was this Kid's Cookbook my Grandma gave me. I think my Mom loved that it was my favorite, too, as I learned to cook early on! So I'd love to get the Children's World Cookbook for my nephew!
