The product features a mix of positive and negative feedback. While the stories and narration are praised as enjoyable and educational, many customers are critical of the songs, describing them as poor quality. Some also found the introductory monologue to be boring and frustrating for their children. Overall, the product seems to be a mixed experience, with the quality of the songs being a significant drawback.

Love it
My son’s favourite! At first I thought the songs were a bit random but we actually love them now and they’re so relaxing to listen to at bedtime. Love the additional stories and the ‘fun facts’. Calming voices to listen to and the stories are relaxed and not rushed.
No more singing plz
Story is short but exactly as the book is. Time on the Tonie is padded out by the voice of the guy reading, then trying to sing it instead. Awful. My little one enjoys the other stories that go with it, but i dont think i can get past the first song without willing myself not to through it out the window.
Love this
Me and my son love this one. The songs are great fun on this one and we catch ourselves singing it together all the time now!
Fab!
I love this tonie, stories, songs and facts. What more can you want?! The songs are great, the negative reviews are from miserable people. Remember, these are for the children not adults.
Such a great classic story
My 1 year old picked this one herself, she loves it!
A family favourite! Great songs and facts
We LOVE this, we can’t read the book the same way since. We often party to Ross noble’s rendition of the very hungry caterpillar. It’s informative and fun, we’ve learned Facts as adults and our daughter loves the songs. 10/10
Our favorite
This has become a nightly listen. We especially love the songs!
A daily fave
I got this for my little girl’s third birthday and it is her absolute favorite. She loves the different stories and the songs. It’s very calm perfect for any time of the day during any activity.
Great and engaging
My little boy loves this one, I read the reviews, and see it has been updated. No long intro others have mentioned. The stories are short as in the book, they have sound effects. The songs are ok, definitely not as bad as some people have made out (or they've been improved) my boy loves the caterpillar one. The facts section seems engaging enough to hold his attention and he's been regurgitating the information to me, learning about topics. He loves it.
Best tonies
One of my daughter’s favourite tonies it’s super long has loads of stories. She loves the songs
Great!
This is great & my 17 month old loves it. You get 3 stories, the 3 stories in song form & facts about animals - really impressed with how much is included.
Great story
I bought this for my son and he absolutely loves it.
Fantastic tonie
The story telling is lovely, the songs are funky and make us laugh/ sing along. There are some interesting facts, so plenty of variety for little ones. (Is it Ross Noble I am listening to?!!) My son falls asleep halfway through if we listen at bedtime, so depends what you want from your Tonie! I recommend!!
Hilarious songs. Lots of fun facts for young kids
My daughter is 2 years and 3 months old and she loves this Tonie. The songs are hilarious, we all sing and dance along. It also includes a lot of fun facts about spiders and crickets. The only issue with this Tonie is that once the British narrator finishes narrating all of Eric Carle's books, then an American narrator starts narrating the same story all over again. How strange and unnecessary.
Repetitive but super fun
The tonie goes through a cycle of story to song to story to song of the same things three times which could be seen as frustrating but as my son really loves this series of works, it’s no bother fo him.
