A Funny Day at the Zoo (Ages 0-5+)

TA-DA!'s multi-award winning Language Adventures series makes language exposure effortless and fun for babies and children up to age 5+. Just touch the pages with your finger—and real kids and teachers from our partnering schools say words in their languages! Choose from Spanish, English, Mandarin, German or French.

A world of vibrant color, sound, and adventure makes language learning a joyful, pressure-free experience. These books start as a cozy read-aloud in your arms and become a playful, independent discovery as children develop fine motor skills, early literacy, and a love for languages.

More than vocabulary building! Each Language Adventures book features 12 original songs by Grammy-winning musicians, introducing kids to real instruments, rhythms, and sounds from around the world. It’s a joyful first step into music appreciation—all while building confidence in a new language.

The durable binding and thick board pages make them easy to read again and again, whether at home or on the go.
