Posted in Usborne Books

Our family has been enjoying Usborne books since 1996 when I purchased "There's A Mouse About The House!"  Now 10 years later my 2 younger kids (ages 2 & 5) are still enjoying that book! What is so special about this book?  Well, it's interactive.  The little mouse you see in the front cover come out and goes through slits throughout the book as you read the story.  I'm sure our mouse has traveled through that book a thousand times!  The best thing about it is I love reading it almost as much as the kids.  It wasn't long after that "A Squirrels Tale"  arrived at our house.  This book is loved and read at least as much at "There's A Mouse About The House!" 

Then in 2001 we started using Sonlight Curriculum.  One of the many things we love about Sonlight is that they include a lot of Usborne books in their curriculum.  Some of our favorites have been The Living World Encyclopedia, World History & The Book of Knowledge.

Most recently we have been using a few of the Internet Linked Usborne books.  This has been a rich addition to my 11 year olds  homeschooling.  We started with The Mysteries and Marvels of  Science  and then we did a study on Shakespeare using The Usborne World of Shakespeare.  Currently he is going through The Internet-Linked Complete Book of Microscopes.  If you are not familiar with the concept of Internet-Linked books here is what makes them so special.  For each topic covered in the book you can visit the Usborne Quicklinks Website and type in your page number to check out links that relate to the pages you just read.   This has been a great thing for my oldest son this year.  He has been able to  get online in a safe environment and learn how to do research. Recently I posted about the  Shakespeare Lapbook he created using The Usborne World of Shakespeare.    If you would like to read my post on The Internet-Linked Book of Shakespeare click here.

So after all these all these years I recently started thinking maybe I should check into becoming a distributor.  I just happened to check into it this month and found they are offering a free kit to get started!  I figure what do I have to lose?  So I hope to have a lot of fun with this here on my blog.  I plan to have contests for free books and discounts.  Who knows what I will come up with?  As long as I can remember it has been a dream of mine to own a bookstore, so today my dream came true!  Click here to visit my bookstore!
