Some Great Video Reviews of some of our Favorite Usborne Books

These are done by another Usborne consultant but I loved them so much I thought I would share. She goes through several of our favorite books describing the best things about them. Plus you get to get a nice look inside the books! So enjoy!


THE FARM STICKER BOOK


THERE'S A MOUSE ABOUT THE HOUSE (Chloe's FAVORITE)


THAT'S NOT MY TRAIN (Chloe's faves are That's not my Fairy, That's not my Mermaid, and That's not my Princess)


GETTING DRESSED MAGNET BOOK (Great for Travel)



That is all for now but I may even start making some of these videos myself. We shall see! :-)

Peter Usborne teaches about the Very First Reading series

As a teacher I found this very interesting. He goes into lots of detail about how kids learn to read and then how Usborne's new series helps little kids get ready to read! I will be ordering these books ASAP. It is a little long but very informative. :-) Wait til you see the goodies at the end of the book!


Great video showcasing some of our AWESOME books!

Found this great video of a news segment where Kristina Cummins showcases many of our amazing Usborne books!

This post sealed the deal for me on making my decision. I thought I would share it with you as well so here you go.... CLICK HERE.

Usborne books: The what and the why


I am feeling so very blessed to have been introduced to the Usborne book business by my friend Tara. I had read several of their books with Chloe (her favorite is That's Not my Mermaid)
I had no idea that I could be a consultant for this company. I am excited about my new adventure selling these books and introducing them to the people around me. I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my consultant kit which came with 31 books!!! (I was even able to get mine it for half off because Tara was a new consultant. Nice perk! (I can also offer this to 2 people if anyone is interested)

The box arrived today and me and Chloe immediately tore into it!

These books are so incredible! I am just amazed by the quality and variety of the books. I am so glad that I will be able to have so many of them in our home.

I will be doing more posts soon with information on special book deals that I can offer and info on how you can have your own show... You can even have an E-show! You would earn loads of free books for yourself as well!
I am off to read our new books to my little lady!
