Rob Lloyd Jones worked on the See Inside series from its launch in 2006, helping to build what became one of Usborne’s most successful nonfiction ranges for young children. The books use lift-the-flap pages to reveal hidden information beneath illustrated scenes, encouraging young readers to look closer and ask questions about what they find.

The range covers an unusually wide spread of topics. Historical titles include See Inside Ancient Egypt, See Inside The Middle Ages, See Inside The First World War, and See Inside Ancient China. Science and geography titles include See Inside Science, See Inside The Universe, and See Inside Great Cities. The books are designed to be returned to repeatedly as children grow and begin to read the text independently.

Step Inside The Viking World (2022), the most recent entry in this collection, shows the format still going strong after more than fifteen years. Across 24 titles, the series has introduced millions of young readers to subjects from dinosaurs to world religions to the history of Britain.
