Welcome to the Spring 2017 Usborne Books & More catalog, home to more than 1800 engaging and educational books for kids of all ages! Our award-winning books are far more than just ink and paper or the average book on the bookshelf. - Crack open the covers of one our Shine a Light books, and you’ll see a child’s face light up with the wonder of educational discovery. - Give one of our fast-paced chapter books to a reluctant reader and you’ll witness an imagination ignited. - Or cuddle up with a young child and one of our interactive books, and you’ll launch a lifetime love of reading. There’s a whole world of possibilities between the two covers of an Usborne or Kane Miller book! In this catalog, you’ll find something for everyone, whether you’re looking to encourage family bonding, build social awareness, foster fine motor skills, set the stage for reading readiness, make homework time more fun, or find a little quiet time with activities for kids to explore independently. We are on a mission to reverse our nation’s declining literacy rate by ensuring that every child enjoys the unique confidence that literacy brings. Strong literacy skills allow children to tackle any subject in school and take on any career they can dream of. Today, we invite you to join us in this mission to spark a deep passion for reading! You can take part by introducing a child to our books, hosting a party, or joining our dynamic and fast-growing team. Tell us which path is right for you, and your consultant would be happy to help you get started! The future of our world depends upon the education of our children, and furthering literacy in our communities begins with every person who gives the gift of reading. Together, we can touch the lives of children for a lifetime.
