Good Morning! Happy Monday! Monday mornings mean Quickie Question time! This last week, I have started yet another small business! I just joined with Usborne Books & More as an Independent Consultant and I could NOT be happier about it.

I love reading, and I've spent most of my life as a Mama reading to my boys. One of the very first books Froot Loop received was That's Not My Monster, a Touchy Feeley book with textured pages that helps babies and toddlers develop fine motor skills. The bright pictures, with their patches of different textures, are designed to develop sensory and language awareness. Babies and toddlers love turning the pages and touching the touchy-feely patches. There's a tons of different Touchy Feely books available if you'd like to check them out HERE.

Anyway, I wanted to ask y'all this for my Quickie Question:

What's your favorite book? Bonus Question: What's your children(s)' favorite book?

In case you're interested, here's some information about Usborne Books & More, and you can shop from my site HERE. I will have more information this week about this amazing company and their incredible books.

Usborne Books & More is a division of Educational Development Corporation (EDC), a well-established company that has twice been recognized by Forbes Magazine as one of The 200 Best Small Companies in America and three times by Fortune Magazine as one of America's 100 Fastest Growing Small Companies, and has been in existence for over 20 years.

On March 1, 1989, the direct selling division was created to concentrate exclusively on selling Usborne books. In late 2008, EDC acquired Kane Miller Publishing, an internationally known publisher of children's books with over 20 years in the industry.

Today, Usborne Books & More distributes books through thousands of independent consultants who sell directly to the consumer via home shows, direct sales, book fairs, and web sites. Also, when registered as an Educational Consultant, can sell to schools and libraries.

We love Usborne Books, Maddie’s favorite is that’s not My Mermaid!

Mama Writes Reviews - April 30, 2018 6:07 PM

Oh we love them too. I can't wait to build my collection!!!

Nicole - April 30, 2018 5:16 PM

I have always loved Usborne books! My eldest son was a very busy toddler and I loved that many of the books were incredibly interactive and kept his attention. Good luck on your new endeavors!

Mama Writes Reviews - April 30, 2018 6:08 PM

Yes. I have an early reader. My 5 year old is already reading at a second grade level!

Eva - April 30, 2018 8:56 PM

One thing I've learned in my 15 months of being a parent: you can never have too many books. Right now my daughter is very into the touchy-feely books. And she also loves anything with animals or babies.

Mama Writes Reviews - April 30, 2018 10:35 PM

Both of my kiddos love those still! My two, almost 3, year old is trying really hard to read them and my older son who's reading 2 grade levels ahead likes to use them for writing practice. He pretty much just copies them, but I love that we can still use them!

Rosy - May 2, 2018 1:53 PM

I wasn't familia with Usborne books! Thanks for sharing this because now I know where to get my daughter books for next time! The periodic table caught my attention.

Mama Writes Reviews - May 2, 2018 4:34 PM

Yes! That Periodic Table book is a lot of fun... it's so fun that they don't know they're learning too!

USBORNE Books & more were born in the middle of my children being born. Wow, that sounds like a long time ago. I wish you success in your new venture. My children loved books too, well some still do. Thank heavens for the schools Schoolastic program because they always had a couple .99 cent books in each level and that is how they got new books.

Mama Writes Reviews - May 24, 2018 11:05 AM

Books are great! I'm very fortunate that my kiddos love books and love reading. Thanks for stopping by!

kumamonjeng - May 24, 2018 2:54 AM

Thanks for showing the Usborne books and also provide your site to show for the children books. Reading is so important and should start cultivate the interest of reading since born.

Mama Writes Reviews - May 24, 2018 11:10 AM

You are welcome! Reading is very important to me and I am a huge advocate of young literacy!

Dia Darling - May 24, 2018 7:40 AM

Checking out the collection now. One of my favorite things to give the kids in my life is book. So often they are given toys and clothes. I think books are so valuable.

My son loved Dr. Seuss books when he was younger. Now he's into comics and magazines, and he's developed an interest with my Harry Potter books. :)

Mama Writes Reviews - May 26, 2018 12:45 PM

Harry Potter is amazing. AMAZING. Every kid should read it. Have you read A Wrinkle in Time? Also amazing!

Janella Panchamsingh - May 25, 2018 6:23 AM

I love reading but I feel like I don't do it enough as I should or could. my children like reading to a certain degree but not as much as I wished they would

Mama Writes Reviews - May 26, 2018 12:45 PM

Amanda @ Cupcake N Dreams - May 25, 2018 10:09 AM

I think the textures and bright images are so important in children's books! Good to know about Usborne Books!

Mama Writes Reviews - May 26, 2018 12:46 PM

Usborne goes above and beyond in creating baby books that appeal to multiple senses.They're the BEST!

Jennifer Prince - May 25, 2018 12:26 PM

My kids are older teens, but I have heard SUCH great things about Usborne Books. They are educational and lovely. AND they make great baby gifts, too!

Mama Writes Reviews - May 26, 2018 12:46 PM

They sure do make great gifts! I've stocked up for baby showers and birthday parties. Thanks for stopping by.

Megan - May 26, 2018 9:28 PM

My favorite books as a kid were the Harry Potter books –– my dad would read them to me, and as I grew eventually I started to read them myself :)

Mama Writes Reviews - May 26, 2018 9:47 PM

I love Harry Potter too! I can't wait until my kids are old enough for us to read them together.

Best Baby Books - August 17, 2018 2:28 PM

All the books are my favorite.
They are so cute. Love you
