Back seat, kitchen floor, the doctor's waiting room. Your child turns pages and repeats real words on their own, and you get a breather without handing over your phone.

From real parents

Families weigh in

4.5 average parent rating

“Point, listen, repeat. Every day.”

The zoo spread was our starting point, and now 'giraffe' and 'monkey' come out unprompted. She carries it over to me before breakfast, every day.

Grace L. Mom of a 20-month-old

“Saved our long drive.”

Six hours on the highway and my phone stayed in my bag. He hit Start on the airport scene again and again, echoing each word back.

Tasha W. Mom of a 2-year-old

“Glad we bought two.”

The two-book bundle meant no sharing fights between the twins. Sturdy pages, a clear voice, and USB-C charging is a breeze.

Anika S. Mom of 3-year-old twins

“The birthday gift that stuck.”

Bought it for my grandson's third birthday. Within two weeks his mom was texting me for the link so his cousin could have one too.

Need to know

Parents often ask

Something else on your mind? Send us a note and a human will reply.

What's the right age?

It's made for children 3 and older, though plenty of families open it up with younger toddlers too. Under 3, we suggest a grown-up stays close and plays along.

How do we use it?

Turn it on, hit the red Start button on your page, then tap any picture or word and the book says it. If what you hear doesn't fit the page, tap Start once more. Lay it flat for the best response.

What about charging?

There's a rechargeable battery inside and a USB-C cable in the box. You'll never hunt for AA batteries again.

Can it handle a toddler?

Each page is heavy laminated board that wipes clean with a damp cloth and stands up to daily toddler use. Still a book, though, so go easy on the yanking.

What does shipping cost?

Two books or more ship free anywhere in the US. A single book ships for a flat $5.99.

What if it's not a hit?

Take 30 days to try it at home. If your little one isn't into it, drop us a line and we'll refund every cent.
