My Children are always looking for new books to read. They love to read and have done since a very young age. One thing, I have learnt though is that they can be so expensive if you want to buy loads like we do!
I first came across Books2Door on Instagram, I think it was an ad and it really did its job. I have been looking on there ever since. Elsa, Cleo and Brody are at all different reading levels. Elsa is an avid reader and it one of her favourite things to do so we go through books very fast. Cleo is getting there, she is due to start Nursery soon so we are introducing reading books to her and Brody has just started to look at books so we have a very wide range of books at home for the kids.
Books2Door is a UK online store that sells books at amazing prices. They opened online in 2004 and they have helped book worms everywhere. They have an incredible range of books for all ages, from 0-5 to young adult.
One of the features of Books2 Door is that the books are at such affordable prices. They are so much cheaper than recommended retail price and they sell books in bigger packs. They have popular book series and author collections sets so you can get a big pack of books that are perfect for your children but at amazing prices.
We have the Usborne Reading 40 books collection for readers aged 5-7 years. The collection of paperback books are great for helping children grow as readers. The 40 books in the set have a broad range of reading styles from modern reads to older traditional readers to introduce your child to some of the most classic books. The books are divided in to series 2 and series 3. The 2nd series of books is 25 books that have been taken from the Usborne series 2 of books, these are adaptions of timeless and classics books that are suitable for the reading age. The next 15 books are series 3 and are taken from the Usborne series 3 of books. These are longer books of classic books, history books and biographies. These books help encourage reading stamina.

The Usborne Reading 40 book collection is priced at £27.24 instead of the retail price of £159.60!!
I think of 40 books, £27.24 is an incredible price and these are books that are going to stand the test of time. Elsa has started reading the series 2 books and she is really enjoying the mixed range of books. Some of the books she has been seen before so it is lovely to get her introduced to classic books. We have been reading a chapter a day of a book and I don’t think it will take us long to get through the collection as we are loving sitting down as family and reading the books.
Reading can be a big part of family life and it is a great way of bonding as a family.
The Usborne Reading 40 Book Collection is available from Books2Door
