Xavier Deneux's Touchthinklearn: Underwater is an innovative board book that engages young children through tactile exploration of ocean life. With raised and recessed shapes on each page, the book invites toddlers to trace sea creatures while learning their names and characteristics. Deneux creates a multisensory learning experience that makes abstract concepts concrete, helping children develop fine motor skills and vocabulary while fostering curiosity about the natural world.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because the best children's books understand that learning happens through touch, not just sight. Deneux creates books that respect how young minds actually work, proving that board books can be both beautiful and brilliantly designed for the way toddlers explore their world.
