Here is an example of how Usborne Internet-linking works, using the Usborne book Bugs, from our Discovery series:

1. Having purchased a copy of the book Discovery Bugs, you will find Internet-links referenced on many of the pages.

2. Go to the Usborne Quicklinks website and type 'discovery bugs' into the Keyword Search box. You can then search the links that are listed for this book by each page number.

3. Click on the listed link to go to the recommended website. For example, for page 30 of Bugs, the reader is taken to a website about ladybugs.

Commonly Asked Questions:
Must I have a computer to use these books?
Absolutely not. They are outstanding reference books without using the Internet at all.
What happens if a site goes down?
