'This Usborne book... is fantastic and our favourite. Solid information broken down into a different category in each spread. It's not an easy reader, some of the 'chapter' headings seem a little extraneous, but it's a very meaty book with lots of facts a child can dig into' - Examiner; 'No Key Stage 1 classroom should be without the whole set' - The Bookseller; 'Good quality non-fiction for this age group is a real boon and the Usborne Beginners is an excellent series. With its easy reading text, it is ideal for those learning to read who enjoy non-fiction books' - Parents in Touch; 'I can't praise Usborne enough for introducing [internet links] to many of their non-fiction books as it really helps children retain information' - Adventures in Home Schooling; 'The Usborne Beginners series is a beautiful fit for newly independent readers' - Rhino Reads
