Children’s Talking Picture Dictionary – Around the House, English
It’s a Book…and Yes, It Talks!
Meet the first-of-its-kind, patent-pending Talking Picture Dictionary by TA-DA!
✔ For ages 3-100+
Vocabulary is the #1 predictor of success in school and life—and this book lets kids see, touch, hear, play, and explore the first 1,000 words naturally.
No extra effort required—no pen readers, no downloads. Just flip the switch, touch the paper, and play!
Features:
✔ 1,000 Words
Each word is pronounced by up to 23 different native speakers, including a Harvard-Berkeley linguist, for a fresh, immersive experience every time.
✔ 10,000 Real-World & Silly Sound Effects
✔ 10 Hours of Impeccable HD Sound
Produced by 4-time Grammy Award winner Jesse Lewis (of Yo-Yo Ma).
✔ Headphone Jack & Speaker-Ready
✔ American Culture Comes to Life
Learn 1,000 essential words while exploring holidays like Halloween & Thanksgiving and hearing real historical audio like Neil Armstrong’s moon landing and MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
✔ 50 Seek-and-Find Games
Designed by a top children’s app developer, these games increase in challenge and vocabulary, keeping kids engaged at their own pace.
✔ Builds Confidence & Lasting Knowledge
Touch, sound, and sight work together to make language stick. It’s like a teacher in a book—but better because kids are in control. Engaging illustrations, silly sounds, and interactive games MAKE THEM WANT TO LEARN.
✔ Eco-Friendly & Durable
Made with high-quality, sustainable materials that last for years. Comes with 3 replaceable AAA batteries and arrives shrink-wrapped for protection.
Why Vocabulary Matters:
Vocabulary is the foundation of learning—expressing ideas, understanding subjects, and connecting with the world. Studies show that school and life success can be predicted by the number of words a child knows entering kindergarten. Whether your child is:
•A first-time learner, this book gives them a playful, strong start.
•Learning a second language, it boosts confidence and accelerates fluency. 1000 words is the onset of conversation in a language.
Loved by Families, Trusted by Schools:
This book isn’t just for young learners; it’s helping stroke survivors regain speech, engaging kids with dyslexia and autism, and going home with English Language Learners (ELLs) of all ages in U.S. public schools.
What Parents & Educators Are Saying:
•“This is one of the most innovative products I’ve seen in at least 20 years.” – Sallie Kashiwa, Good Toy Group
•“There are plenty of sound books on the market, but this is not that. A beautiful mix of tech and paper.” – SQOOL TV News, Paris, France
•“Our two-year-old is obsessed! I can’t wait for the Spanish version.” – America Dinsmore
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Is this like an iPad?
No—and that’s the magic! Instead of mindless swiping, kids actively engage with touch, sound, and sight, boosting focus, fine motor skills, and a love of books.
2. What age is this for?
Tested for ages 3+, but even younger children love it as a shared experience. By age 6, most kids can turn the pages and interact independently.
3. Do you need to press hard?
Nope! The touch points offer just enough resistance to help develop fine motor skills, which are key for writing and literacy.
4. Do pages need to be flat?
It’s forgiving, but yes, laying the book flat ensures the best response. Just tap the page number in the corner when you turn a page.
5. Does it need batteries?
Yes, but we’ve got you covered! Comes with 3 replaceable AAA batteries and a smart snooze mode to save power. When playtime’s over, the book even snores to remind you to turn it off.
6. Is it durable?
You bet! Thick, high-quality paper can handle everyday use (and the occasional Cheeto fingerprint). Treat it like a treasured book—it’s made to last.
