Usborne Publishing has revealed it will pulp the remaining stock of Growing Up for Boys following criticism over the 2013 title’s claim that girls have breasts “to look grown-up and attractive”.

Easter is almost here and Usborne children’s books have put some spring sunshine into their bright array of new titles.

A HOMEBUILDER has been helping spread the word about the importance of reading to young people in the borough.

Usborne has acquired Grumpfort, “a monstrously funny” illustrated young middle-grade début from author-illustrator Jamie Hammond, who is associate art director at Walker Books.

Usborne of course does keep up with the times and, should you want to seed some nostalgia in the next generation, has a contemporary range of books to teach kids some coding skills.
