TA-DA! Chinese Baby Book for Toddlers 1-3 | Zoo First Words

TA-DA! Chinese Baby Book for Toddlers 1-3 | Zoo First Words Talking Sound Book | Learn Mandarin for Kids with Animal Sounds, Songs & Interactive Bilingual Learning Board Book
- THE FIRST MANDARIN BABY BOOK THAT REALLY TALKS! Unlike most sound books that only sing, TA-DA! actually speaks each word out loud in clear, authentic Mandarin. Made in collaboration with the San Francisco Zoo, this Mandarin baby book teaches 12 real zoo animal words—each pronounced twice by native speakers, first naturally, then slower for practice—so parents and toddlers can learn together with confidence. Paired with joyful Grammy-winning music and high-quality audio, it’s a standout among Chinese books for kids.
- CREATED BY A MOM & LANGUAGE TEACHER. As a bilingual mom & children’s language teacher, I knew families needed playful, authentic, and stress-free Mandarin for kids. Research shows bilingual kids are smarter & kinder. I wanted to make that possible in every home. So I blended my teaching background & mama heart into TA-DA!, a company now honored as America’s Educational Toy of the Year 2025 finalist & Startup of the Year. This award-winning Chinese children’s book has received the Brainchild & Gold Moonbeam Awards, making it a trusted bilingual learning toy & keepsake for families everywhere.
- 12 WORDS, 12 SONGS & SEEK-AND-FIND FUN, ALL IN ONE. This Mandarin baby book teaches 12 real zoo animal words, each spoken twice by native Chinese speakers for clear pronunciation. Every word comes with its own original song created by a Grammy-winning legend (producer of Yo-Yo Ma), paired with bright illustrations from the Oscar-winning artist behind Hair Love. With playful seek-and-find games and touch-activated sound, this bilingual learning Chinese children’s book is a multisensory language learning toy kids and parents love.
- MADE WITH REAL TEACHERS & CLASSROOMS. Unlike most talking toys, this Mandarin baby book was co-created with educators and students at Xi’an Yun (San Francisco High School of the Arts) and Xiguan Elementary in Yantai, China. Your toddler isn’t just hearing actors—it’s the authentic voices of native teachers and kids speaking Mandarin in real classrooms. Families love knowing their child is learning from real native speakers.
- NO FOIL OR PLASTIC BUTTONS — SMARTER LEARNING BY DESIGN. We did the research and the facts are clear: foil buttons are easier to trigger, but “easier” doesn’t build skills. That’s why we drew real circles on the page instead. When you start by pressing together, babies quickly learn how—and they love it! This “press with purpose” builds fine motor strength for early writing, boosts confidence, and helps kids focus. In a time of declining literacy rates, this Montessori-inspired Mandarin talking book keeps the joy of real books alive while teaching authentic language.
- A REAL STORY EXPERIENCE FOR IMAGINATION & SPEECH. Unlike most toddler sound books that are just short sing-alongs with simple images, TA-DA! is different. These 26-page Mandarin talking book tells a fun, imaginative zoo adventure through art + sound. Kids follow Bunny & Fox, hear authentic animal sounds chosen with the San Francisco Zoo, and discover details that grow with them—just like a movie soundtrack builds a story. By design, we left space for imagination and speech development: in no time you'll delight in hearing children retell the adventure in their own words!
- DEVELOPS EARLY LANGUAGE & SCHOOL-READY SKILLS. More than just play, this bilingual learning Mandarin baby book supports key developmental milestones: early language exposure, sensory exploration, fine motor skills, and pre-literacy. Perfect for toddlers 1-3 and preschoolers, it introduces bilingual learning in a playful, screen-free way. Families use it for heritage language pride, immersion at home or school, and as an interactive tool to raise happier, smarter, more connected kids.
- BEST SOUND & MUSIC EXPERIENCE ON THE MARKET. We wouldn’t settle for anything less. Produced by a Grammy-winning legend (the same producer behind Yo-Yo Ma), every word is paired with unforgettable music and authentic animal sounds from the San Francisco Zoo. Kids hear piano, guitar, xylophone, wood blocks—plus lions roaring and elephants trumpeting! The result? Clear Mandarin pronunciation that sticks because it’s joyful, multisensory, and fun. Parents say the sound quality outshines every other toddler sound book they’ve tried.
- A PERFECT GIFT + WORRY-FREE GUARANTEE. Baby showers, birthdays, Chinese New Year—this Mandarin talking book is a meaningful gift that families treasure for years. With durable board pages, wipe-clean surfaces, and rounded corners, it’s built to last. And we stand behind it 100%: if anything ever goes wrong, TA-DA! makes it right. Loved by families, trusted by classrooms, guaranteed by a mama-teacher founder.
