OUR FAVORITE USBORNE BOOKS & MORE TITLES
Our family’s love for Usborne Books & More titles runs deep. I have officially been a consultant with Usborne Books & More for 3 years now (one of the BEST decisions I’ve ever made BTW) & we have acquired nearly every.single.book. With 3 little ones, these books have surely been put to the test. Frankly, we love them all, these books are HIGHLY engaging & my boys can’t resist them— from sticker books to picture books, chapter books to seek & find, lift-the-flap to touchy-feely these books were created with thought, depth, care & consideration for children’s developmental needs, so it’s nearly impossible to select favorites, but here is my best shot at what we love the most. (PS I have been able to acquire the majority of our UBAM library for FREE or heavily discounted as a consultant if you are curious check out my FAQs here & holler with any questions about the consultant gig!)
PICTURE BOOKS
Where Happiness Lives, with a message that is as relevant for adults as it is for children this could very easily be my favorite Usborne Books & More book. Adorably illustrated with some fun page features (like flaps & cut-outs!) this one is a must for every home library + makes a wonderful gift too!
Extraordinary, one of our newest titles that focuses on the simpler things in life & celebrating time spent together, with friends & family. This one is beautiful.
I’m Not (Very) Afraid of the Dark, this book teaches us that the dark is all how we perceive it & that only when it’s dark can we see some of the best things in life. Tons of laser cutouts & modern illustrations make this book even more magical too.
The Big Race, this one teaches us that it’s not just about winning but persevering & going for things that seem out of reach.
Room on Our Rock, read this one forward & then backward for two different perspectives, such a brilliant approach to a book & a fantastic message!
Another Book About Bears, this silly book is a household favorite but I love it for the introduction to unique animals + sophisticated vocab! It’s the reason my oldest has developed a DEEP fascination with angler fish!
Upside Down Sid, my boys cannot get enough of this story! I love the sentiment about relationships & helping others out, even if things are upside down!
Dragon Post, with major The Jolly POstman vibes this cute story features 5 letters to open & read along with the book. Anything by Emma Yarlett is a WIN in our house, she’s the mastermind behind the beloved NIbbles too!
Lights-Out Leonard, this book helps my boys work through their fears of the night— with a step-by-step guide for How to Frighten Monsters (that we enhance with our own bedtime rituals ;)).
Luna Loves Art & Luna Loves Library Day- Luna is one of our favorite fictional characters & these books are some of my favorite illustrations. I also love that Luna comes from a family structure that is under-represented in children’s books.
Boy, featuring a child with hearing loss who uses his hands (called his “dancing hands” in the book) to help work through the conflict infiltrating his village.
ACTIVITY BOOKS
sticker books, my boys can play with these for hours & they make a great activity for travel! We have SO MANY options I’m sure you can find a favorite interest of your child. My boys favor anything dinosaurs, oceans & things that go!
Laundry Day Sort & Play, such a fun book AND even better, a fun book that reinforces learning concepts + creativity.
magic painting, all you need is water & the images come to life! These are the best books for an activity in a pinch, a party favor, or when you just need some quiet time (for adults too!).
little coloring, these coloring books are specifically designed for emerging colorers with simple bold outlined images & featuring familiar favorites of young children.
wipe-clean, we looooove our wipe-clean books & they can be used over & over again!
busy books, these books are incredible, they feature a pull-back toy + track on the pages & questions to help your child engage with the content. Such a clever concept for a book!
matching game— our matching game sets include TWO ways to play & incredibly durable boards + cards. Right now we are all about the dinosaur one!
NON-FICTION
Shine-A-Light, you’ve never seen a book like this! Hold a light behind the pages to reveal hidden insights & there is so much to learn!
My First Encyclopedia, I loooove reading this book with my boys (ages 4 & 3 now) because I always learn something new & they love to pull it out & read it independently. It is full of incredible content for little ones!
Peek Inside, this series offers engaging content to young learners— with flaps & peek-through slots that help the pages come alive it doesn’t get much more interactive than this! We love Bug Homes, A Beehive , How a Plane Works.
Little Lift and Look, ahhh this series is so impressive to me— perfect for babies & toddlers & despite its tiny size it packs a punch— with sophisticated vocabulary on every page!
100 Things, my husband & I have so much fun paging through these books, there are so many FASCINATING things to learn. Makes great reading material you can pick up & put down in small spurts.
Lift-the-Flap Very First Questions & Answers and Lift-the-Flap First Questions & Answers, this series answers alllll the questions little ones have about big topics, with flaps that make it all the more fun.
ALL THE REST
That’s Not My…, I cannot post about favorite without a major shout out to the That’s Not My series, all about the touchy-feely sensory fun, my kids cannot get enough of these books, even my oldest (4) can’t resist when I pull them out for our youngest.
Complete Book of Farmyard Tales, in our house everything Poppy & Sam is a major fave (our internet is even named “Apple Tree Farm”) & this collection takes the cake. We have two copies of this book & we listen to the CD in the car OFTEN (especially on road trips!). I adore moments reading these stories with my boys.
What a Wonderful Word, this is my all-time favorite Usborne Books & More title!! It’s a collection of untranslatable words from around the world & the illustrations are stunning. I keep a stash on hand for a gift in a pinch for ANY age (even once a 30-year-old gal pal who hosted us in her home).
The Unworry Book, loaded with strategies to help ease worries & anxious thoughts this book packs a toolkit of support, I keep a copy for myself & share the strategies with my spouse & boys too.
Reuseable Sticker Books, books like All Better! & Time to Brush give children opportunities to engage in a new way with a book.
Forgotten Fairy Tales of Brave and Brilliant Girls, a collection of stories that belong on every child’s bookshelf, boys & girls alike!
Puzzles, these books + puzzle combos are always helpful to have on hand!
