PaperPie Spring 2023 Catalog

Our story started over thirty years ago with a vision of sharing the books kids love to read. We’ve carried this mission with us through the decades - growing, changing, and adding teammates and products. What has never wavered is our enthusiastic commitment to literacy and learning, to making and finding the best books for your readers. Books that matter. Books that make a difference. You’ve helped write the Usborne Books & More story over the years, from finding the perfect gift for your child to filling your classroom with resources to sharing a sweet bedtime story, to joining us in our business opportunity, amplifying our message. You and your readers are the best part of our story and why we do what we do. We believe every book and every child matters. And while that remains the main ingredient of our mission, you may notice we have a different name and a new logo.

Over the past nine months, we’ve worked to create a story and a name that better represents who we are, not just what we sell. We believe we will always carry the best books, toys, and learning products, but we wanted to have an identity that expressed it in ways that felt modern, fresh, exciting, and captured the heart of our mission.

Welcome to the next chapter in our story… PaperPie.

The idea behind PaperPie is that paper is our medium of communication, whether it’s a board book, game pieces, a series of chapter books, or creative activities. We offer exceptional, innovative, and joy-filled ways for your child to connect with learning. But what about pie? We’re passionate about the myriad ways children consume information. As the world continues to fight for their attention with shiny screens and noisy devices, it’s never felt more important for literacy and learning tools to feed the imagination, grow the emotions, and nourish the mind of children. When you think of pie, you think of something to be gathered around, something to be shared, an experience worth savoring. That’s exactly what we think our products are made for… literacy and learning as a lifestyle, stories made to share, and moments that inspire you to gather.

PaperPie is for memory making, creative learning, and unlimited possibilities, all within the context of togetherness.

As the next chapter in our PaperPie story begins, we are still proud to offer you selections for the readers and learners in your life from either Kane Miller or Usborne Publishing, with additional educational items from Learning Wrap-ups and our newest offering, SmartLab Toys. With products like these, we know the best is yet to come, and we can’t do it without you. Together we help children become the hero of this story. You belong here with us helping children and communities do greater and be greater.

Our brain-building content inspires the imagination through exhilarating experiments and creative learning. At SmartLab, we believe children learn best through hands-on exploration and discovery. We deliver those experiences by creating inventive toys packaged with engaging editorial content, interactive activities, and solid science.

We know the best toys allow children to add their individual insights, problem-solving skills, divergent thinking, and perseverance to their play. That’s why our toys allow for open-ended experimentation and repeat play. From chemistry to electronics to human anatomy to architecture, our full range of STEAM toys offers playful learning experiences to delight and amaze any child.

Each of our STEAM toys stands out in the industry by including a kid-friendly illustrated book or booklet that provides a wealth of information on the given topic. We’re committed to helping young minds experience wonder, test the unknown, and increase their understanding of the world through hands-on exploration and informative editorial content. At SmartLab Toys, we make science fun!

SQUISHY HUMAN BODY

n It’s time for a gut check! There’s a reason Squishy Human Body has been the best-selling anatomy toy for over 10 years — it’s Squishy! This 12-inch-tall interactive model features nine removable squishy organs that feel like the real things. Kids can squeeze the squishy heart and lungs, remove the squishy brain, and even uncoil the squishy intestines! Featuring 21 removable organs, bones, and muscles in a clear plastic shell, Squishy Human Body allows young doctors-in-training to dissect and rebuild the human body again and again using forceps and tweezers. The handy Organ-izer sheet keeps all the removable parts together for easy assembly. The stand allows kids to proudly display their assembled model on a shelf or desktop. The illustrated 24-page book takes a light-hearted approach to anatomy by following a slice of pizza as it travels through the body and interacts with different organs. The book features photos of real organs, engaging illustrations, and answers to common body function questions — even the gross ones!

The fun starts when kids learn how to customize their lip balms using cocoa butter, chocolate chips, flavored oils, and candy melts. The illustrated fold-out sheet features 20 recipes for boutique lip balms, lush lotion bars, and sugary lip scrubs. Because the recipes require handling hot wax, All-Natural Lip Balm boutique is a perfect parent-child activity.

Adult supervision is required when making lip balms and lotion bars. Beeswax pastilles must be mixed with vegetable oil to melt. Oil is not included. Recipes require household ingredients not included in the kit. You can find the entire list of ingredients used inside the book.

The illustrated 40-page book lets young eco-heroes perform experiments that demonstrate organic processes at work. Activities include making paper, cooking up four types of bioplastics, extracting DNA from plants, brewing natural watercolor paints, and even popping a balloon using an orange peel!

POPPY AND SAM SERIES

• Poppy and Sam have been loved by families for over 30 years. Browse all the books and find the Little Yellow Duck on each page.

I find it almost impossible to believe that 2023 will be the 50th anniversary of the foundation of Usborne. My career in publishing all started with a phone call from my wife saying that I was going to be a father. I knew from that moment on that I wanted to create books for children. I always think that my job has been an extension of the incredible privilege of being a parent.

I started with little other than a plan to focus on non fiction books, as I felt that those currently on the market were far too serious and unwelcoming for children. Children’s TV at the time was, I felt, doing a better job of engaging kids, and magazines too. So I looked to both those formats for inspiration.

As we tried to forge a new path in children’s publishing, we had some hits and misses. But the “publishing philosophies” we developed in those early years continue to guide us: “Do it better,” “Never speak down to children,” “Always make books pick-uppable.”

Our books are now published all over the world (in 137 languages at current count) and I am proud beyond belief that there are children and parents everywhere looking for books with our distinctive, colorful hot-air balloon for the best in non-fiction, baby books, activity books, music books and so much more.

I’m enormously indebted to my remarkable staff, many of whom have worked with me for decades. I’m also tremendously grateful to the team at EDC and their consultants for selling our books in the USA for many decades. We look forward to a strong future together.

The growth and success of Usborne has exceeded by far my wildest expectations, and has given me what I consider to be the best life of anyone I know. I love what I still do at the company now I’m 85.

Thanks to you all – to booksellers, to consultants, to parents – and to everyone else for helping us so much. I hope that you’ll join me in celebrating 50 wonderful years!

We’re welcoming 2023 with a veritable treasure trove of new books. From baby books to fiction, picture books to activities, there truly is something for everyone!

Some familiar names and series are back: new A to Z Joke Books promise more giggles, STEMinspired activities tap creativity in My Year of Discovery, and Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock offers further insight into all things space-related in Am I Made of Stardust? Glorious new titles are also coming your way from familiar creators like Clare Helen Welsh (Everything Changes), Carron Brown (Caring for Pets and Moving), Emma Yarlett (Nibbles: The Bedtime Book and Poppy Pickle), Margaret Hamilton (Rainbow Days), Emma Chichester Clark (Bears Don’t Cry!), and Alice Hemming (The Frozen Unicorn).

Humor abounds in new picture books like I Did See a Mammoth!, Food Fight, Unicorns Don’t Love Sparkles, The World Sleep Championship of Animals, Coco and Fly, and Inside the Box. Other selections, especially Color and Me! and Great and Small, celebrate diversity in new and beautiful ways.

As always, we support learning through appealing text and beautiful illustrations in our nonfiction: Maps for Penguins and Other Traveling Animals, A World of Gratitude, 365 Cool Ways to Remember Stuff, as well as four new Shine-a-Light titles. There’s a plethora of activity books to encourage early motor skills, hand-eye coordination, critical thinking, earlyliteracy skills, and more. Find manipulative fun in the animal-themed Learn to Lace books, and opportunities for cognitive development in the Thinking Skills series. The Sticker Facts series— with dinosaurs! In jungles! In the oceans!— educates and entertains, as does the Missing Bits Stickers series for even younger learners. SEL isn’t overlooked either; we have a pair of books packed with activities and games to introduce mindfulness and kindness.

We’ve found new kinds of ways to support our commitment to manipulative learning.

From My First Tag Puzzles to the pen-andpencil games of Games to Go, from a magnetic fishing game to the multi-sensory Nursery Play Books, we’re looking to engage all ages. We’re especially excited about our A Year in the Forest series of interactive board books—from Poland!— along with the spin-off puzzles and memory game offering a variety of ways to have fun, learn about animals, and practice skills.

Even our thrilling fiction offers learning opportunities: Tiger Warrior, with its mythological characters from the Chinese zodiac and videogame-like action, and Epic Historic Adventures, with a different historical setting for each book. Older readers will discover something entirely new in the two contemporary novels by Fiona Hardy. (How to Make a Movie in 12 Days has received a Starred Review from Kirkus!)

Discover ideas and selling points for every Kane Miller book and explore resources like bookrelated discussions, games, and activities on our newly updated website at www.kanemiller.com.

So in this new Lunar Year of the Rabbit, let’s all hop to it, and get these new books into the hands of readers!

Opportunity and actuality meet here at PaperPie in the experiences and adventures, our creative learning products open to children and through the entrepreneurial door opened to our StoryMakers.

We believe books should be spellbinding, bringing joy and magic to everything they touch. PaperPie products don’t just inform, instruct, and entertain, they also inspire joyous wonder.

PaperPie fosters gatherings. We celebrate individuality, diversity, and togetherness. Exchanging ideas and reading aloud together bonds families and builds communities.

possibility joy community enthusiasm

we are

While books should absolutely be fun, PaperPie is devoted to the serious development of minds and character. We passionately believe in each person’s part of our collective story and how together we can learn - and lead - louder.

exceptional

Thoughtfulness, research, and innovation go into every PaperPie product. We create, discover, and share creative learning resources that are not just educational, but wholesome, inspiring, and beautiful because you are what you read.

kindness

Kindness permeates who we are – our products, our people, and our purpose. PaperPie deeply believes that people – all people – matter. Their stories and their sense of possibility come alive here.

connection influential

PaperPie know that people don’t just read books, they experience them... together. Our products deepen connections showing we’re all more alike than different, more unified than alone, and more bonded in purpose when brought together around literacy and learning.

We bring life to the idea that “readers make leaders.” Stories influence character, form community, and help bring out the best in each of us.

PaperPie empowers people to serve, lead, and learn around a mission of positive change.

Research shows that 20 minutes of reading a day candramatically transform the lives of children. Their academic performance improves from growth in vocabulary, writing skills, and the ability to pay attention. Their empathy deepens. Their creativity expands. Even children’s sleep patterns benefit from just 20 minutes with a book. Here at PaperPie, we understand your busy lives. The demands on caregivers and children make it a struggle to find those 20 minutes. But we believe we can help grow those minutes into a beloved and valued time in your everyday. We invite you to discover more of who PaperPie is and step into one family’s story to see where literacy and learning fit.
