Does anyone have recommendations for Usborne books kids 3-5? We have the All Better book and 1000 things that go but am looking to get a few more at an upcoming book fair. TIA

There’s a Mouse About the House! It’s super cute. I found it at a book fair a few years ago. It comes with a mouse that has to go along and through all the pages, looking for food. If you lose the original, it has a template for making a new one on the back.

My kids love the nibbles books, there is a “then and now” my older loves but it’s more like 5 than 3. 4yo still loves the book where the little train drives on the track on each page. There are a lot of good sticker books, we had one about colors and one build your own trucks. Oh and shine a light is fun - we have dinosaurs and garage. For 3yo, Alfie and Bet’s ABC is really cute and fun. The magic painting books have gotten a lot of play and they can last forever since you do a page here and there. For 5yo there are cute phonics books like Mole in a Hole that can grow with them as they learn to read. Oh and again geared to the older end the “how to draw” books are great!
Can you tell I know a lot of people who sell

We have these and have had them all since my older LO was about 3/4. The space books are a little more advanced, but still very fun to read.

We have the visiting the doctor and visiting the dentist books, and they were both really helpful when it can time for those visits. I used to being he doctor one to the pediatrician office. My older daughter must have gotten them for her third bday and I remember them being a little lingnfor her at the time but we’ve read them a lot of times.
For older, we have some hand me down learn to read ones where the grown up reads one side of the page and the kid reads the shorter, easier, other side of the page- those were awesome as my daughter first started reading.

My 4yo has a shine a light book she loves. My 2yo current favorite is the band-aid book. I think there’s also a glasses book that’s similar. We also have a couple of the Peak Inside books, but I think I like them more than the kids. And I also bought Everyone Poops, because, why not!?!?

@LemonJack: @bhbee: @lamariniere: thank you!

@Miss Ariel: I was looking at a shine the light book online last night. Good to know your 4 yo likes it! My eldest loves the band aids too.

Both my girls (4 and 2) love the Big Book of Colors. Also have one about our world (forget exact name). A little advance but my older one has always loved flipping through it and me explaining what everything is.
Actually now that you mentioned it, I really want to get a book about space and dinosaurs as my 4 year old are into both!

7. 1000 animals
8. Big book of sea creatures
9. Big book of big trucks
10. Big book of big machines
11. Big book of big dinosaurs
12. Big book of stars and planets -
I really like the lift the flap books! I only have a 2 year old, but she likes "what is poop" and "what are germs". There are many other awesome learning books that i think would be great for a 3+ year old.

@autumnleaves: So I had an Usborne party last fall and apparently my friends are crazy about them and I earned $500 in free books
So we have a lot. My new 5 year old (and my 2.5 year old) really like the "look inside" books with all of the flaps. Nibbles. The Flashlight books (which also make a great gift, when paired with a little flashlight!). Dragon Post is super cute and they really like that. Lifesize is great. I'm sure I can think of 6,000 more but those are our favs in our rotation right now!
-
@bees_knees: Thank you! I like the idea of buying the flashlight book and giving it as a gift with a flashlight. I will look at the other books you mentioned to - I appreciate your help!

My 4 year old DD likes the Lift the Flap books, especially What is Poop, Q&A about your body, and "Lift the flap Word book". Other ones we like are the Magic Painting ones, A Tale of Two Beasts, the bandaid book (All Better) and the glasses one (Little Bear Needs Glasses).
So we have a lot. Reply
