Usborne Puzzle Books help reading comprehension & visual discrimination which in turn helps with reading, spelling, and writing.
Sticker books tap into the interest area of a child. When a parent supports a child’s interest, it promotes independence and autonomy leading to healthy social-emotional development.
The Sticker Dolly books also promote cognitive development through matching and association, creative reasoning and self-identification. They encourage your child to recall what they already know and strengthen the learning pathways. There is also an element of creative thinking or story-telling. Encourage your child’s imagination by asking questions about the dolls’ identities, likes, dislikes, favorite food, etc.
Sticker books helps develop the fine motor skills to prepare and support the ability to write words, and draw. The Usborne Sticker books also help with the development of eye-hand coordination which promotes the ability to use manipulative in learning, art skills, and gross motor activities like sports, climbing and jumping, as well as spatial awareness.
The theory is that when all of these development realms are tapped into regularly, children will have more success in school and, some say most importantly, higher level problems solving and reasoning skills.
Usborne books tap into these on a regular basis. We have nearly 100 different sticker books for all ages and interests ranging from pre-school ABC to Internet Linked World History Sticker Atlas, foreign language to great works of art, animals, and dollies galore.

Pipkin is a little penguin who asks very BIG questions! Just how big was a dinosaur? As big as a car? As big as a house? This delightful picture book has the answers.
Pipkin meets all kinds of different dinosaurs: from little ones to big roaring ones with very big teeth!
Introduce a new word and ask them to guess which definition is right? Is HALIBUT a fish, a game or a President? They'll want to learn more when they're having fun!
OR...Pick a new word every day and teach it to your kid. Use it so they hear it in context. Encourage them to use it, and use it yourself. Even over-using it will be fun. Pick a word like 'outstanding' and use it whenever something is 'good'.
