Top Ten Reasons NOT to Join Usborne Books & More

I know, I know. I’m a book consultant with UBAM so why would I be giving reasons not to join Usborne Books & More? Because, sincerely, it’s not for everybody. Some people should not join OR even buy from Usborne Books & More!10 reasons not to join Usborne Books & More

Top 10 Reasons Not To Join Usborne Books & More:

  1. You Hate Books
    In fact, you’d go as far as to argue that movies based on books are always better than the actual book. Books are just so boring.
  2. You think reading to children is a waste of time
    Why risk them becoming smarter than you? Plus, studies “suggesting that there is an important link between the empathy felt for fictional characters and the ability to empathize with people in reality” are way overblown. Same with the ones that connect reading to children when they’re young with the quality and strength of the parent-child relationship. There’s just no point to reading to children.
  3. You prefer giving loud, plastic toys as gifts to kids
    The louder the better!! Especially if it’s cheaply made, needs lots of batteries, and will break within a week. Makes way more sense than a book that can be reread multiple times, thus providing comfort to a child as well as a quicker grasp of new vocabulary.
  4. Rhyming phrases trip you up
    Who cares that rhyming builds phonemic awareness, an important early literacy skill? Rhyming is just hard to do!
  5. You hate meeting new people
    Finding connections with people who share the same passions as you isn’t fulfilling at all. Being challenged in new ways and discovering new strengths through team work is just unwelcome. Why grow as a person through friendship?
  6. You don’t want something that is just for you
    It’s totally easy finding time for yourself! You don’t need help finding self-care that doesn’t make you feel guilty. You are 100% fulfilled just as you are. Nothing is missing. You don’t need an outlet that belongs to you.
  7. You hate saving money on books
    Full priced is where it’s at!! Who needs commission that starts at 25%!?
  8. You would rather have your kids watch TV or play on computers
    You watched TV all the time growing up and you’re completely fine!! Who cares that the average American child spends 5-8 hours a day in front of a screen, and 4-7 minutes a day in unstructured outdoor play. Why would you buy books that would encourage the outdoors!?
  9. Books give you paper cuts
    They also murdered your entire family.
  10. Finally, making extra money isn’t appealing to you
    You already own a yacht, your house is paid off, you don’t have any student loans, you hate vacationing. I get it! You don’t need this opportunity! You definitely don’t need an opportunity to spread literacy, make 25% on all sales, have no minimums, no inventory, and the best company with the best mission statement around.

Usborne Books & More Mission Statement

Every year, the kids are in charge of decorating t Every year, the kids are in charge of decorating the tree. Which means every year, it looks pretty silly. But, I love it.

I'm responsible for the flying penguin, tho. Swipe to see the finished product 🤣

If you do a tree, are you team white lights or team multi color? My lights alternate between white and multi and it brings me joy every single year. Why choose? When you can have both?

1. Bring binoculars! Taking a closer look at the world around you is cool!

2. Try not to get impatient at the slower pace, but if you do... Encourage a race!

3. Jump off all the stumps (this actually helps pace since they'll run to the next one)

4. Look for dinosaur poop! Or fossils, or birds nests, or unicorn poop... Whatever your kid is currently into - lean into it!

5. Don't forget to enjoy your surroundings.

6. Sit on every single bench

7. Be silly
