New Books January - June 2027
Dear Bookseller, It has been an exhilarating year for me, as I have settled into my role of Publishing Director at Usborne. As we approach the new year, I am pleased to share with you the Usborne books publishing January through July 2027. Every season brings fresh opportunities to put smiles on children’s faces. In this leaflet you’ll find new baby books to become part of those precious moments shared between parents and little ones, engaging information books that might spark a lifelong fascination with a subject, as well as sticker books and activity books designed to inspire creativity and imagination. Among this season’s highlights are the delightful sensory playbook, That’s not my… Tummy Time (p3) and our new Wiggly Jiggly series starting off with hilarious elephants and silly dinosaurs (p3); brand-new musical sound books including Rock Band and Jazz Band (p5); an exciting new activity series with Felt Play Little Garden and Felt Play Little Kitchen (p15); a brilliant wind-up addition with Wind-Up Monster Truck (p12); fascinating non-fiction books including both photography and fabulous illustrations with The Usborne Book of Animals and First Book of Bugs (p10); adorable Easter fun (p7); and fabulous Fiction including three new series for young readers, Evie Spark, Dino Boy, and Doodle Kid (p17-18). We want every book we publish to have the potential to become a child’s favourite book. We pour an enormous amount of passion, care and attention into every page, and hope each book feels like a little world for a child to explore, enjoy and be inspired by. I hope this leaflet helps you to match lots more children with their new favourite book.
Best Wishes
Sam Taplin Publishing Director, Usborne
