Usborne Childrens Books

Usborne childrens books are multiple award-winning, independent books published in the UK and available worldwide. Founded by Peter Usborne over 30 years ago, the company revolutionized children's publishing with information books that combined very high educational and editorial standards - and made finding out fun. Within months of first publication, Usborne books were a major international success. Now translated into over 80 languages, the Usborne childrens books have been widely imitated but never bettered. They continue to earn glowing reviews and prestigious prizes.

Usborne childrens books were the first UK childrens publishing company to produce Internet-linked books, called Quicklinks. These books include links via the Usborne Quicklinks Website to recommended websites that complement and enhance the information in the book with movies, sounds, pronunciation guides, games and quizzes on the Internet. There are now over 200 Usborne Internet-linked books including atlases, encyclopedias, language books and dictionaries. Usborne also publishes cut-out models, craft kits and puzzles.
