From Usborne, the British children's publisher that turned the board book into something to operate: press the buttons in its sound books to hear the scenes come alive, move a slider to change both the picture and the noise, lift a flap to see what is underneath.
Built for hands that are still learning to be gentle, which is exactly what makes them such dependable first-birthday and baby-shower gifts.

The pattern is the one every baby in the country already knows. That is not my Christmas tree, its trunk is too bumpy. That is not my Christmas tree, it is too prickly. A textured patch on every page for a small hand to go back to, the same four words to say along with, and the little white mouse hiding somewhere on each spread.
This is the special edition of it. The format is bigger than the standard That's Not My board books, the cover is finished in foil that catches the light, and the last page has lights in it. When the search ends at "That is my Christmas tree! Its lights are so twinkly", the tree actually twinkles, which is the moment the book gets handed back to you to do again.
Usborne makes these for babies from three months, which is younger than most first books, because the whole design is sensory rather than narrative. Bold shapes on flat colour for eyes that are still developing, fuzzy, furry, smooth and soft patches to feel, and a repeated line that invites a baby to answer back long before she can say the words.
It was selected for the Children's Book Committee's Best Board Books 2025, which described it as "an introduction to Christmas that is highly visual and sensorial. Bright illustrations with cutouts and twinkly lights."
The same touchy feely series, in stock now: That's Not My Squirrel, That's Not My Lamb, That's Not My Goat, That's Not My Train, That's Not My Shark, That's Not My Plane and That's Not My Reindeer.
