"This Pick of the
Crop award goes once again to the Usborne textbook line...Every page
has fascination tidbits of information. The format reminds you of
a combination of Ripley's Believe It or Not and magazine
illustrations. Just leave some lying
around the house, and the kids will teach it all to themselves. I
kid you not!" |

"I'm sure many of you are familiar with the Usborne line of books. Their use of imaginative illustrations combined with accurate and concise wording help to convey subjects as varied as drawing astronomy, photography, foreign languages, geography, music, world history, and physics... They delight in
interesting pictures and find that illustrations make a publication more
inviting...the books invite them, the ones they read over and over, tend
to be their Usborne books. Combine that fact with the content and
quality of Usborne's line, and they become our family's hands-down
favorite." |

"Usborne Books are to textbooks what Steven Spielberg productions are to movies. We're talking entertainment value here. Every page heavily illustrated. Text that explains the illustrations. Fascination bits of trivia splattered throughout... Free of the preachiness
that so mars American text books, Usborne books share a liveliness and
joie de vire that marks them for greatness You can use them with
or without other curriculum. If you're looking to add some zing to
your kids' education, it's a great place to start." |
