Usborne

Usborne Publishing Ltd, known simply as Usborne, is a British publisher of children's books. It specializes in illustrated non-fiction, reference titles, and early readers, and is recognized for design-driven formats that encourage exploration and independent reading, such as lift-the-flap and See Inside titles.

Founded in 1973 in London by Peter Usborne and his wife, the company began with a small range of picture books and grew into a major publisher of children's literature. Its catalog includes popular series such as First Reading, a graded reading program; Look Inside and See Inside lift-the-flap books; and the That's Not My... board books for toddlers.

Usborne's books are distributed worldwide through traditional publishers and a direct-sales network called Usborne Books at Home in the UK and Ireland, and Usborne Books & More in North America, among other regional partners.

In response to digital trends, Usborne produces eBook editions, apps, and digital learning resources while continuing to publish print titles.

Usborne is regarded as one of the leading children's publishers in the United Kingdom and internationally for educational and entertaining content; its emphasis on clear typography, bright illustrations, and interactive formats has shaped children's publishing since the 1970s.
