Usborne Publishing has been in the business of popular, serious fun since 1973, and has lovingly nurtured its vast array of enjoyable, educational books. Usborne is known for its charming, hands-on “Fairies” book series that encourages play and learning as well as its beloved “Farmyard Tales” collection. Its newest addition, the “Books with Wind-up Toys” series, sweeps away the protestations of even the most stubborn young reader: these books have toys! Not only does each colorful tome come with a wind-up toy, but each toy can be used inside of the book as the story progresses, keeping little hands busy and eager minds occupied. 

Help your child's interest in reading take off and soar to great heights with all the adventurous books from www.usborne.com.

During the first months of  life, the baby listens to his mother’s voice, his father’s voice or that of the person taking care of him. From these voices, the baby starts to build up his own voice and his personal language. At the same time, he learns to identify the voices of those who surround him. And while they sing a song or tell a story, the child discovers the poetic voice of the people around him, the melodious and singing voice that is so different from the everyday voice that gives orders and information needed for everyday life. This poetic voice is not only more beautiful, it tells little stories too, sings songs and nursery rhymes that introduce the child in the universe of literature and prepares his sensibility for these artistic forms, the simplest ones, the most archaic ones.

It is very important that we sing to babies, that we tell them not only one but many, many stories, at the most diverse moments of the day, in every occasion possible: invented stories, read or remembered, heard stories...

These moments of story telling are privileged moments, full of tenderness and suspense during which the child may discover, even before learning to read, the magic of literature, the story’s power.

We are taught that the child who listens to stories when he is a baby, lives within the stories, like they were part of him. Only later, after having heard many stories, he starts to keep the stories at a distance, like something exterior to him that he now may integrate better.

Learning to read is also learning to communicate... To this end, we at Reibmans believe in the diversity of literature for the child.  We carry titles from Random House, Chronicle Books, Usborn Books, DK Publishing, Harper Collins and Penguin.  It is our mission to bring the best in titles for children from birth to age 6.  Oftentimes, we couple these books with interactive toys that in time become the imaginative child's best friend.

New Arrivals

Fiona Watt and Ben Mantle’s Busy Bug Book is a charming delight that will appeal to boys and girls. Its perfect, child-sized ladybug dances around four different tracks that run throughout the story. Chock-full of cute bugs and colorful flowers, this book is guaranteed to provide quality reading and snuggling time for parents and their children.

The got-to-have-it book, Noisy Wind-Up Fire Engine, snagged one of the prestigious Right Start Best Toy Awards in 2009. No collection would be complete without the engrossing tales that give children a peek into the life of a fireman. The fire engine toy runs on three tracks and comes complete with something every child loves — a working siren.

Of course, the “Wind-up Toy” series is not landlocked by any means. Young readers can cavort aboard a pirate ship with Captain Blackjack and his intrepid crew in Wind-Up Pirate Ship by Louie Stowell and Christyan Fox. The humorous tale and vibrant illustrations create the perfect backdrop for any would-be pirate, and the toy ship that sails through the three tracks really brings the story to life.

“Prepare for take-off!” This will be on the lips of every young reader when they fly their toy plane through Usborne’s Wind-up Plane Book. Gillian Doherty and Stefano Tognetti guide young pilots through the airport and flight with bubbly illustrations and amazing facts.
