“No Key Stage 1 classroom should be without the whole set.”
The Bookseller
Tremendous visual appeal of a quality that is unmatched by other early reading series. No Key Stage 1 classroom should be without the whole set.
The Bookseller
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.
The Bookseller
An excellent series. Carefully designed to appeal to early readers, the books have accessible vocabulary and easy reading text, clear pictures, a contents page, index and glossary - all excellent for helping children to learn to use books for research. Short chunks of text and plenty of pictures make these books really fun to read.

My son LOVES this book
My 2 1/2-year-old son couldn't get enough of this book. I read it over and over. It's got great photos and snappy text. Highly recommended. Now I'm looking for more in the series!

Spiders
Brilliant book. Excellent artwork and will take the fear of spiders away forever with the descriptions. Read this to a group of 3-4 year olds today and they loved it. The pictures show detail down to the most minute feature. Highly recommend.
