Unlock the potential in your child by encouraging them to read!

I like the quote "Today a reader - tomorrow a leader". It summarizes the reasons why I chose to represent Usborne Books! There is an epidemic of aliteracy in adolescents who don't care about a world beyond their Myspace top 8, or who can't unplug themselves from their X-Boxes long enough to experience everything life has to offer. I want more for my kids. Books aren't just for school; they can spark in a child an insatiable curiosity for the world that will last a lifetime. Tomorrow's leaders possess that curiosity; they seek to be world changers not content to sit on the sidelines letting life pass them by.

UBAH's mission statement is - "The future of our world depends on the education of our children. UBAH delivers educational excellence one book at a time. We provide economic opportunity while fostering strong family values. We touch the lives of children for a lifetime."

So, what is special about Usborne Books, and what makes it better than my local bookstore or Amazon?

I'm a busy mom. Four kids ages 6 and under; in other words - shopping can be a major headache for me, but buying books is essential for our family. Online stores make the process a little easier, but I still have to do the research to find good titles, find a reputable store, etc. With Usborne, you get a dedicated personal shopping assistant (me!), you can browse the titles in person, and get big rewards like free books and discounts for hosting parties with your friends. Does Amazon offer full service like this? My kids can also spend a half hour just looking at the catalog. Sit on the couch with your kids, thumb through the pages and let them pick out what interests them. The quality is great with our books, and we offer an extensive selection of over 1300 titles. A big deal clincher for me was that we offer a lifetime half price replacement! Save your receipts, and if the dog chews the corner of a favorite book (it happened to me!), your consultant can get you a new copy for half price.

I have been selling the books since 2005, and we read them often at our house. Westen and Noel have always loved them, and now Geneva (2) is picking out her own favorites! To learn more about the company and the product line, visit my store!

Usborne Books at Home is a network marketing company. If you'd like to learn more about what that means, visit here. What it means to me, is that I can run a home business that allows me to earn income without having to meet wholesaler's minimums and the headaches of inventory. I can put into it what I'm willing and able to. I sell the books because I've seen first hand that kids love them. Our own shelves are filled with books - from the thrift store, from Barnes and Noble, from Amazon, from my own childhood, and the stacks they bring to me every night for bedtime reading consist mainly of Usborne Books. Selling the books offers me a big discount for our own purchases, and I like helping others get free books by hosting parties.

One of my passions is helping moms find books that their sons would enjoy reading. Usborne offers many titles that boys love reading! Start your son off early with the idea that reading for leisure is fun. Boys especially love the puzzle stories, action adventures, science books, dinosaur books, and animal books. Give it a try - request a catalog, give it to your son and see if he finds something cool!
