"There are plenty of sound books on the market, but this is not that. A beautiful mix of tech and paper. Love the quality of the book, and I think it’s good to put beautiful things in the hands of children because it makes them want to do beautiful things. Frankly, it is beautiful, with particular attention to detail."

-French TV News (SQOOL, Paris, France),
"Clever and fun! You can even plug in headphones! I like that each object is said several times in different voices and pitches. I purchased for a 6-year-old refugee who is learning English.

-Carrie Hartley
"They are a big hit at our school! I have been looking for this for years!"

-Principal, Milwaukee, WI
"Great for stroke victims! Just what was needed to help my cousin recover from a stroke that affected her language skills."

-Amazon Certified Purchase
"Gorgeous book, crisp sounds. My students love it! They love challenging themselves with the finding game as they learn the words. I highly recommend this book. It’s beautiful and large and quite captivating for the kids, which is refreshing to see."

“TA-DA! books engage the student so the child is more likely to learn through play. SLPs [Speech Language Pathologists] in the school setting only have a limited amount of time to work with the kids, so if students are engaged and look forward to working with the books, then there will be an increase in meaningful instruction time.”

-Darlene Shochet, Resource teacher, former SLP aide, Los Angeles School District
“TA-DA soundbooks will expand children's imaginations with the sounds of many languages combined with the attractive artwork. The soundpaper technology is amazing.”

-Rick Kern, Professor & Director French Language Program, Director University of California, Berkeley Language Center; Associate Editor, Language Learning & Technology
“TA-DA! books are not only very attractive and easy to manipulate and use with this new technology but also very pedagogical oriented when it is about multilingualism. Having children voices make a huge different for young learners, it is very reassuring, and it gives them the feeling of being close with the voice they hear.”

-Elsa Rodriguez, Director Sausalito Campus, Lycée Français de San Francisco
“TA-DA! Language Productions has found the perfect way to put books in the hands of children while teaching them language and each corresponding culture. As the principal of an elementary school and mother, I see all age-groups of children not only enjoying their experience of reading these books but benefiting greatly. The pictures are lovely to look at and the technology used to capture native speaking children and adult voices is amazing!”

-Nadia Oskolkoff, Ed.D., Principal Gardner Bullis Elementary, Los Altos California

“Why focus on vocabulary first? Because it’s the missing piece, the key that builds confidence and joy in learning. My two decades of teaching across continents taught me the power of words. Traditional methods—rote memorization, detached language labs—just don’t cut it. They strip the joy from a process that should be vibrant, explorative, and engaging.

Equally important, this first series aims to immerse learners in the sights and sounds of culture, directly from the voices of those living it. We’re fostering a dialogue about culture that’s often overlooked, yet essential. By raising our children amidst these rich narratives, we’re shaping a future that’s wiser, kinder, and more connected, shaping kids ready to thrive - and excel in the 21st century.”

— Michelle Glorieux, TA -DA's Founder & CEO

“Without grammar very little can be conveyed,

without vocabulary

nothing
