Product Description Discover the magic of fun, immersive, multi-sensory, early language learning―right when it matters most, ages 0-5―in this talking book that features native speakers pronouncing zoo animal words in Mandarin Chinese. A little boy spends the day at the zoo with his mommy and inseparable bunny sidekick...but wait! Something funny is going on here! Will mommy catch on? Or will it remain a little boy’s (and his bunny’s) secret forever? State-of-the-art paper electronics allow kids to simply touch the images on the paper of an otherwise normal-looking-book and hear words spoken by native speakers. The magic is enhanced with beautiful art, real animal sounds verified by the San Francisco Zoo, and 12 unique, original, toe-tapping tunes produced by Grammy winning sensation Jesse Lewis!
