Usborne Beginners: Dogs
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Like Penguins and Horses & Ponies, this is a children's informational guide focusing on a specific animal type. In this case, dogs. For how small and short they are, these beginner books pack a punch, including a glossary, index, and reference sites to visit for further information. Being a common animal that is often seen and come in contact with, even though we don't have one as a pet, makes it an instant win for further learning. I suspect these books will be of more interest when the kids can read and understand them better themselves, but for the moment they still are appealing.

Usborne Beginners: Penguins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is similar to the Horses & Ponies book, only about penguins instead. We received this as part of my daughter's summer reading program with Usborne Books. One of the stuffed animals she attached to around 1 year old and still clings to, is a penguin from Uncle Thomas. She also loves visiting the penguins at the zoo. These all combined to make this book an instant hit with her. Even if she isn't asking to read all the information this little book includes, she'll still sit and flip through the pictures and charts all on her own.

Usborne Beginners: Horses & Ponies
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
We got this as part of our first package of summer reading books for the kid's. As my daughter loves horses and often comes riding with me, this was an instant hit. It's simple, yet has a lot of good information at the same time. Add to that some beautiful photography of several different horses and you have a winner.
