Yí gè jīng cǎi de hǎi yáng gù shì (An Awesome Ocean Tale, Mandarin Chinese language version‪)‬

Kids will dive right into this talking e-book that teaches Mandarin Chinese marine-life words with just the touch of a finger. This immersive, early language-learning e-book is perfect for ages 0-5, and features native speakers pronouncing each vocabulary word, fun sound effects, and 12 original short songs in a variety of music styles.



With a splash of imagination, bath time becomes a thrilling, bubbly deep-sea adventure, complete with a seahorse ride and a tickling octopus. Has a boy’s dream of meeting schools of ocean creatures really come true? Dive in to see...



Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers can touch the e-book’s beautiful images and hear words spoken by native Mandarin Chinese speakers. The magic is enhanced with real ambient sounds and original, toe-tapping tunes produced by Grammy winning sensation Jesse Lewis! Vocabulary words are printed in both Pinyin and simplified Chinese characters.



As part of TA-DA!’s Language Adventures series, AN AWESOME OCEAN TALE weaves culture, storytelling through art, music, sound and imagination to bring languages to our youngest learners, creating a strong foundation and a lifelong love of languages and culture. The Xiguan Elementary School in Yantai, China, validated the Mandarin vocabulary in this book, and native speakers from the community of the San Francisco High School of the Arts are featured in the book’s recordings.
