What Makes TA-DA! Different

Real Classrooms, Real Voices Your kids HEAR

Kids hear words spoken slowly and naturally by native teachers and children in real schools
(like UNAM Mexico).

Touch-Paper Learning

Not buttons, not foil. Illustrated circles on real paper guide their touch, building fine motor skills, focus, and calm.

Music That Matters

Original songs and rhythms from Grammy-winning producers. Builds memory, joy, and music appreciation.

Art That Sparks Joy

Colorful illustrations by award-winning artists like Kelsey Suan (Oscar-winning Hair Love). Durable FSC board books with rounded corners you can feel good about.

No screens. No pressure. Just joyful, first steps into language—be it their first or fifth.

Press play and watch this little one’s eyes light up!

Listen to how it works. Sample Our Books in Any Language.

Each new word comes to life twice—first in a natural, playful way with fun sounds and music, and then again a bit slower and clearer, so kids can really hear and repeat. It’s a little musical journey that helps them pick up each word naturally.

Playful Stories That Get Them Talking

Each adventure offers 26 colorful pages of sounds, songs, and first words
— with adorable Bunny & Fox leading the way.

  • Twelve Words, Just Right: Each book highlights 12 simple words—like a perfect little handful, helping kids build confidence without feeling overwhelmed.

  • No Sentences, Just Imagination: These stories let little ones fill in the blanks, just like a wordless picture book. They get to imagine and create the story in their own words.

  • Real Sounds, Real Music: Every word comes to life with a real-world sound—a crackling campfire, a dolphin splash—and a beautiful song crafted by Grammy-level talent. It’s all about sparking their senses.

  • More Talking, More Fun: Just like the best wordless books, our approach invites kids to talk more, not less. They point, they giggle, they tell the story in any language.

Why Just 12 Words?

Children under 5 learn best in small, repeated chunks. 12 words = mastery, not overwhelm.

Why Touch-Paper?

Like sorting blocks or tying shoes, pressing paper requires intention. it builds fine motor strength, focus, and early writing skills.

Why Wordless Stories?

Early exposure to native pronunciation builds phonemic awareness, the foundation for reading and bilingualism.

Why Music?

Pairing words with melody doubles memory retention.

Why Real Voices?

They invite kids to talk more, not less — proven to spark imagination and confidence.

“TA-DA! music is just in a different league. My partner and I were so tired of children's books and toys with terrible sound effects, and TA-DA! has really set a new bar, and all in service of helping kids learn. Our kids have 4 TA-DA! sound books and they LOVE them. This camping book is definitely a favorite!!”
