The chewing
by
The chewing noise is awful. I couldn't return this tonie so I resold it bc the chewing was so distracting and aggravating. Shame bc the character is so cute and it's a great story

What parents are saying
AI summary of customer 129 reviewsThe 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.

byNot suitable for a three year old. This Tonie explains how things work in detail and with vocabulary well above a three year old's level. Also, part of this Tonie is in American English.

Love it
byMy 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
byStory 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

Fab!
byI 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.

A family favourite! Great songs and facts
byWe 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

A daily fave
byI 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
byMy 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.

Fantastic tonie
byThe 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!!
