Terrific Kids Books is an Usborne Books at Home Business. I am an independent Educational Consultant available to help you find and enjoy great children's books.

I am a former IT project manager who has been blessed with the good fortune to stay at home with my children. I discovered Usborne Books after my friend invited me to a show. I was instantly impressed with the quality, selection, and price of the books. That was five years ago. My kids love these terrific books, and so do I! Unlike most of the books we've purchased for our children through book clubs and in stores, Usborne books are the ones my kids continually go to for reading again and again!

I'm a book lover and avid reader. And I love watching my children and others as they discover the amazing world of Usborne Books. The importance of books and reading can never be over-emphasized. They open our childrens' minds to the wonderful world around us, and provide a unique opportunity for learning to take place!

I hope you find as much delight in Usborne books as I do. It it so rewarding to promote a product that I so believe in. If you are interested in earning free books for your family or would like more information about joining my team of consultants, please contact me. I would love to share more information with you!

My Children's Favorites

	My daughter loves this book. It was her first favorite book. At 18 months old she would bring us this book to turn the pages for her so she could find the duck on every page.
	Another of my daughter's favorites. This Touchy Feely Board Book has adorable illustrations on each page along with different textures to feel.
	Both of my children love the stories of Ted and Friends. There are easy words to read on everypage of this four story book. There are even flaps to look behind and of couse, the marvelous illustrations.
	This book is a bedtime story staple in our house. Both of my children love the stories of Poppy and Sam and their family on the farm. My son tells everyone that this is his favorite book!! They enjoy looking for the little hidden duck on every page. There's even a CD of the stories so they can listen to them when Mommy and Daddy cannot read to them. It's great!
	One of my son's favorite books. He calls this his Knowledge book and says "it tells you about everything!" For a boy who wants to know how everything works, this book has been a great investment. He loves to flip through and read about the subjects that interest him.
	What boy could resist a book about dinosaurs. My son loves this search book. There are dinosaurs and other creatures to search for on each double-page spread. And it even gives facts about the different types of creatures and what they eat.
	A new favorite of my son's. Being a scientist's child, he has an insatiable curiosity about all things. We pull this book out whenever he has a question about how our bodies work. The vivid illustrations are amazing with flaps to lift so we can see what's really happening inside the body---like food going down the esophagus, or what in inside of bones looks like. There is so much to learn from this book and we find ourselves reaching for it over and over.
	My daughter loves to draw pictures and this book shows her how to draw animals. The step by step drawing instructions allow my budding artist (at almost 4 years old) to draw a rabbit or kitty cat all by herself. She gets so excited when she draws them all on her own!!
