Childrens Picture Atlas

by: Ruth Brocklehurst

2004-04
I ordered this for my 6 year old son ready for his show and share afternoon at school, not sure if it would be suitable for his age. He loved the book immediately and was able to read and understand the text confidently. What really caught his imagination were the maps in the back, of the continents and countries, and the animals, landmarks, etc... that could be found around the world. I am sure we are going to have hours of fun learning about the world - think mummy will learn a thing or two ... Read More:

The Usborne History of Britain (Usborne Internet-linked Reference)

by: Ruth Brocklehurst

June 27, 2008
I am a little older than the intended readership, but since receiving this book I have turned to it daily to fill in the gaps left by school history lessons, or simply to dip into a previously unknown period of history. The comprehensive, unpatronising treatment of the past is neither too scholarly to gloss over the gory (and fascinating) details, nor too hurried as to miss out important facts. It is extremely well written, and each page is filled with the most eye-catching and informative illustrations and ... Read More:

The Usborne Big Book of Things to Spot (Young Searches)

by: Gillian Doherty, Anna Milbourne, Ruth Brocklehurst

October 25, 2002
We have used this book as a move on to "You Choose".

Just started to use it with our 22 month old to increase his vocab understanding but I can see it being of interest for many years to come especially for counting and concentration.

Roman Army (Usborne Discovery)

by: Ruth Brocklehurst

August 29, 2008
There I was, despairing over my 7-year-old son's school Roman Army project, wondering how on earth we would get through it without murder being committed, when I found this book. Parents who find themselves in a similar position should get rid of any other books you might have on the subject, and just use this one. The text is simple enough for a youngish child, and the pictures are terrific. The project is complete, the child is happy, and his mother is delighted.

Animal Stencil Book

by: Ruth Brocklehurst

March 31, 2006
I got this for my three year old who's recently become engrossed in the concept of stencilling as a means by which to produce pictures which she is yet too young to draw otherwise. As such, she happily goes at it and produces reasonable reproductions, which she is happy to get on with herself and then colour in/cut out etc. It's an A4 book and is basic, with no extras, but is solid and has a good range of stencils and thus activity potential, being from Usborne.

It has 13, generally large, cardboard ... Read More:
