Book of the Month - Fold-out Solar System
Usborne's Fold-out Solar System is a detailed and interactive way to explore our Solar System. From facts about the planets, to key terms, to the spacecraft that are exploring the Solar System, this book is perfect for science enthusiastics and children who are fascinated by the world beyond the clouds.
... The book can be folded out to show a model of the Solar System on one side. Starting with the sun, the fold-out diagram shows us the different planets in order of their proximity to the sun, as well as the moons of these planets and the spacecraft that are currently exploring them. It provides a scaled down version of the Solar System, so you can really visualise the planets in relation to each other in terms of size and distance. It also tells you the dates that spacecraft were launched to give you a clear picture of how scientists are working to discover more about our Solar System.
We love how the book is full of facts we didn't know, such as how Jupiter's moon Europa may have simple alien sealife living in an ocean layer beneath its surface, or how the discovery of Eris ended Pluto's status as the ninth planet. It's great for dipping in and out of, and for making new discoveries each time you read it.
Each planet comes with a short fact file that tells you its distance from the sun, diameter, the number of moons it has, how long its days are, and how long its years are. Earth provides a great comparison point to the other planets, and it's fascinating to see how different each planet in the Solar System is.
Usborne's Fold-out Solar System is a fact-filled, fascinating title that is sure to interest any science and space fan. Its engaging format is perfect for any reader, and each time of reading it is sure to lead to a new discovery about our Solar System. 6+ £9.99

A year ago today I decided that I'd pay £38 for a big box of books and see what happened. I must admit, when my box arrived I thought 'aaah what have I done, I've just moved to a city where I know nobody' but that wasn't a problem as everybody I met loved them. I achieved some fab Incentives Usborne offer new organisers including my £38 back, £50 free books, my own website and £200 cash bonus 😁
I now have a fab business that I run in my free time, including my own little tea...m in the UK and Europe. Some joining us to build their own business, others to get discounted books for their children. My little bookworm children have LOTS of books which I get free with my orders and I have made some fantastic friends along the way.
I absolutely love working for Usborne Books and sharing their amazing books with my little family and others too, at schools, nurseries, toddler groups, home parties, online, at fairs and much more.
Thanks for supporting my little business and I look forward to sharing lots more fab books with you xx

Was really nice to see a book instead of an tablet, great selection and great person who served me!

These are really lovely quality books and you get a great service from Mel. She responded very quickly to my messages and was able to advise me on the best books for my child. They arrived in great time and we are very happy with them. Thanks Mel! xxx

Oscar loves his activity books & it’s really helping him improve his letters & numbers. Excellent value too xx

Mel is a great Representative of Usborne books. She has been wonderfully supportive in helping me select the right books, making sure they reach me in Germany or the UK and has even gone as far as to gift wrap and post them for me.. a super star

Lovely party & fantastic selection of books. We picked up a few so that we don't bankrupt daddy all in one go :) Will definitely be back for more. Mel dropped the books off at my home a few days later & I was hugely impressed that a) they arrived so quickly & b) she dropped them off - was expecting to collect & this has saved me a trip out, thank you Mel! They are great quality books & my kids are thoroughly enjoying them.

I won the October prize draw and chose the Pop Up Cinderella book. It's lovely, very good quality and ideal for my granddaughter. It was delivered very quickly too. I can recommend this bookseller 100%

I received my Christmas Eve gift bag and goodies to fill them from Mel a few weeks ago but being a busy working mum of 4 I just hid the package in my safe place � I've just opened it up to sort and Mel has gone above and beyond just sending me the books, living here in Italy means we can't get the same things my children recognise from previous years and Mel has sent a few goodies that will make their day too. Mel you are an absolute star, friendly, fast, efficient, patient and extremely thoughtful. Thank you so much from here in Bella Napoli, Buon Natale.

I had a party with Melanie and just 4 friends, was great being a smaller group. Got some great recommendations from Mel, she knows her stuff! Love the books, bought some as Christmas presents but my daughter has seen them and won't let them go now!

Fantastic service as always. I have enquired about several books and when received I have never been let down, my daughter has loved them. Great quality as well which will last the test of time. I have recommended Mel to lots of my friends as her customer service is out of this world. Thank you again xxx

Extensive collection of books to choose from! Mel is extremely helpful, informative and considerate when it comes to recommending books. She sent me pictures of the pages she find most relevant to what I was looking for, waited patiently while I deliberated over what to order and even arranged postage abroad. Thank you for a fantastic service! Highly recommended!

Excellent books and even better service from Mel. Have only purchased a few so far because, well maternity pay! But will be back for more.

Excellent books and an excellent service! My daughter and I love the wide range of usborne books from non fiction to stories and of course the sticker books too! Mel's parties are fun and informal and there is absolutely no pressure to place an order although the books are impossible to resist! After placing an order our books arrived very quickly and we were delighted with them. Thank you Mel!

Attended a lovely Facebook book evening with Mel. Got some great advice in the event and after to help me pick the right books picking some books. Brilliant!
