Lit for Little Hands: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

An Interactive Board Book Adapting the Classic for Kids

2026 CHILDREN'S BOOK COUNCIL HOT OFF THE PRESS PICK

An interactive board book for young readers, Brooke Jorden’s adaptation of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea will take kids on an underwater adventure with Captain Nemo and the Nautilus

“The sea is everything.”

Jules Verne’s classic novel comes to life for young children! Wheels, pull tabs, and other interactive elements invite kids to steer the Nautilus, shoot harpoons, and unearth lost cities with Captain Nemo and his crew. Much more than a primer, Lit for Little Hands: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea tells the actual story in simple, engaging prose. Fans of the beloved novel will be delighted by the book’s attention to detail, clever use of original dialogue, and colorful illustrations by Olga Skomorokhova. And the book’s use of super-sturdy board means that everyone can go on an underwater adventure to explore the sea over . and over . and over again!
