Go Go Fun Learning Books with Music

Today, I'm going to do something a little different. Instead of a book review for a single book, I wanted to hit upon a series from an independent publisher. No, I'm not receiving any reimbursement for doing this...my kids think I'm crazy for never finding a way to make money from my reviews. But as you might know, Bookworm for Kids is a labor of love. That means that I am never pushed to share a review. So, I'm presenting these books because I really think young readers will enjoy them.

These books come from the Go Go Fun Learning series. This is a musical, singing book collection, which holds over 14 titles. My kids loved books like these when they were small, and this collection has quite the broad assortment as a little more to offer than simple entertainment.

Of course, the music player with the buttons makes it easy for young listeners to choose what they want to hear. The songs are presented in a more childlike fashion (you can head over here to see the demos.) They will quickly pick up on their favorites, no doubt. Each button correlates with a song, which is found on one of the pages. So, it's very easy to use.

For the most part, the songs are already known ones. I was glad to see old nursery rhymes and such included (like Hickory Dickory Dock), since I've noticed that quite a few kids don't seem to know these anymore. 

The collection includes a nice variety of directions...nursery rhymes, lullabies, and Christian songs. But what I also find extremely nice is the foreign language collection. These center around Spanish and Chinese. The English translation is printed along with the Spanish or Chinese one. As a bilingual family, I've noticed that songs tend to stick much faster in young minds than simple words. Plus, older readers, who can read, will enjoy that the two languages are side by side...so much easier to work with.

The illustrations are bright, hold a rounder-cartoon style, and present an energetic and friendly atmosphere. They are easy to identify on the button pad as well.

Summed up, these are fun books, which young readers/listeners are sure to enjoy. And they might learn a few things, too. 

Words from the founder of Go Go Fun Learning...

I’m Tania Wu, a mother and founder of Go Go Fun Learning. I’m always looking to inspire young minds with the joy of language, music, and storytelling. Growing up trilingual, my passion led me to pursue a PhD in literature, teach at UC San Diego, and train in Speech Language Pathology at Boston University. My journey, combined with my background in playing the piano and classical Chinese instruments like the Erhu and Guzheng, fueled the creation of our interactive musical children’s books, the Go Go series.

As winners of the 2024 Mom’s Choice Award and Family Choice Award, at Go Go Fun Learning, we celebrate diversity through melody and rhyme. Our language-learning musical books are available in English, Spanish and Chinese and come with English translations. They blend multicultural musical elements with innovative content, offering a sensory-rich experience that delights little learners. We also offer Christian sound books. Each page comes musically alive with the press of a button, bringing stories, animal adventures, and family-themed songs straight into a child’s hands. In the past year alone, we’ve produced 127 songs in three languages to promote immersive, joyful early learning.
