Calling All Book Lovers! {Pssst... there's a GIVEAWAY!}



Calling all book lovers! (And non- book lovers who want their kids and grandkids to be book lovers) ;)


For the next 10 days I will be hosting an Usborne Books & More Party on the blog's Facebook page and invite all of you to knock out some of your holiday shopping before Thanksgiving!

There is also a fun giveaway going on with this party, so make sure you scroll to the bottom to find out how to enter!

If you haven't heard of Usborne Books & More, their collection of award winning books are high quality, educational and so much fun to read! 

Our party's consultant, Mary Ellen, has broken things down into several categories to help you find the best books for your kids or grand kids.

Check them out below and then head over to my online bookstore for shopping: https://r4281.myubam.com/174420

Next, for roughly a 3rd grade reading level through Young Adult): 

Non-Fiction: 
Children love to learn about the world around them. They’re like little mini encyclopedias with all the random facts they know! One of the most engaging and beneficial resources for them are Non-Fiction texts. Here are a few cool options, but it's really just the tip of the iceberg. Usborne rocks the non-fiction genre!


Activity Books: 
Usborne has an extensive collection of activity books ranging from wipe-clean dry erase works books to sticker books to puzzle and maze books. Everything you can think of, even coloring books that adults enjoy! Check them out:

Making Friends:
Whether it's by easing childhood anxieties, modeling good social skills, or teaching empathy, our books can help kids learn to be good FRIENDS to each other. Which of these could you most use in your household or classroom right now?

In addition to these videos, here's a mini catalog you can flip through to get ideas:
