Frequently Asked Questions About our Roman Urdu Books

What ages are these Urdu books suitable for?

Our Urdu word books (basic vocabulary) are great for kids ages 1-5. Sentence books suit ages 3-6, and storybooks are ideal for 4-10 year olds. The talking pen is recommended for ages 3+ but many of our customers use them with younger children (under supervision).

Do I need to know Urdu to use these books with my child?

No – that’s the beauty of our books. Each book is written in Roman Urdu (Urdu in English letters) and English translation side-by-side. So even if you can’t read Urdu script, you can read the Roman Urdu or English. Plus, the Bolo Pen will read the Urdu out loud for you. It’s a great learning tool for both kids and parents!

How does the talking pen work?

The Bolo Pen is an interactive audio pen. Simply turn it on, and tap it on any text or picture in our books. The pen contains pre-loaded audio for every page. When you tap, it will read the Urdu text aloud, play a sound effect, or even provide the English meaning. It’s rechargeable via USB and stores all the book audio internally. No internet needed.

Can I buy the books without the pen (or vice versa)?

Yes, you can purchase books individually or in bundles without the pen. However, to hear audio, the Bolo Pen is required. If you already have a pen, you can buy more books separately. Likewise, you can purchase the pen alone (great if you need a spare). But first-time users typically start with a set that includes the pen.

Do you ship internationally (or to my country)?

We currently only ship to the US, UK and Canada. Shipping is free for all orders of 3+ books. See our Shipping Policy for further details
