My son's favorite book

This has been my son's favorite book since he was two years old! I bought it through a Scholastic school book order, intending to save it until he was older. But he wanted to read it, was utterly enthralled with it, and had it fully memorized within weeks. This book sparked an interest in space that has stayed with him (he is now four). He found the book clear and easy to understand and was able to answer 'reading comprehension' style questions such as 'Which planet is the biggest?' and 'What is the sun made of?' Wonderful! I plan on collecting as many of these Usborne Beginners books as I can!

Beginners series

I had to write and let you know how wonderful the Usborne Beginners series has been for my 4 year old son's education. I bought sun, moon and stars, read it to him once thinking he would not take anything in and would only look at the pictures, and the next day he was quoting bits back to me and asking questions. He demanded it as one of his bedtime books so many times I got bored and bought another in the series – your body. It had an equally great reception and I am now collecting the whole series.
Well written, easy to read and great illustrations.

Press Reviews

The Usborne Beginners and Young Readers series are increasingly being recognized and celebrated as having both the production values, content, and visual and commercial appeal demanded by the home market, and also the clear structure supporting children's reading development that is desired by schools. In my opinion, the Usborne Beginners and Young Readers series are by far the most appealing and comprehensive reading development supports available, now offering a vast range of subjects.
