They (my kids that is) don't consider it a school book - it's just FUN!

I'm an usborne consultant, and I loooove the "spot" series. I would suggest for anyone who has young children (2-7 yrs old), the, "big books of things to spot." This is four of the spot books in a combined volume and the price is very reasonable ($12.99), and not only do the kids improve their vocab with all the various pics (they are also very AP, I love finding the many pics of babywearing parents in the spot books), but their counting skills too. If you have an older child who can read, the "great wildlife search" is awesome ($15.95). Once again this is a combined volume (but a great price vs buying each book seperately), with three wildlife search books, BUT what is cool about this one is that there is also a little blurb next to each animal/insect with a fun fact on top of "spotting" too. These are two of my biggest sellers and my 2.5 yr old is able to sprawl out on the floor and do the, "big book of things to spot" on his own for up to half an hr which is almost unheard of since he is a VERY, very active boy! Also, for those with girls, there is a new usborne book called, "1001 fairy things to spot." It is sooooo stinkin cute! If your girl is into fairies, they will adore this book. If you need more info on where to get these books or more questions feel free to PM me.
