Customers are divided on this product. Most praise the infectious reggae, R&B, and garage-inspired remixes that transform nursery rhymes into catchy, dance-worthy tracks—toddlers respond by dancing, clapping, and singing along, with many families calling it their favorite. However, a significant group feels misled by marketing, noting the melodies are too altered and unrecognizable, making it difficult for children to sing along. Some describe the audio as overstimulating or annoying. Overall, reactions are polarized between those who love the energetic modern twist and those seeking traditional versions.

Don’t be put off by the negative reviews
We bought this two days ago so happy we did, I was a bit put off by the negative reviews but the uptempo bear to the nursery classics is exactly what we were after, my daughter loves the songs and bops up a down. If you want something traditional then this is not for you, but traditional is what most children listen to anyway, so why not mix it up and get something different expose your child to a soca or reggae beat.
Different but fun
The reviews for this tonie did nearly put me off buying it but I’m glad we bought it. It is a bit different with the beat and sound but the lyrics are the same. There’s definitely a Caribbean influence to the tracks and they’re very upbeat. It did take a few songs to get used to, We love them and they’re really fun to dance too snd and a nice twist

I took a risk after reading the bad reviews and have to say, don’t let them put you off - yes it different, but my 1 year old still recognises them and is dancing along. It’s nice to hear something a bit different to the ones you hear everyday anyway!
Fun to listen and clap along to, Jamaican themed?
A little challenging to sing along to these versions of each song, but they're fun to listen to and clap along to, all the same - Jamaican theme maybe? Not as bad as other reviews make out, but definitely a little different to what you expect given the way this is advertised.

My 13 month old loves this Tonie character and loves dancing to the rhymes.
We absolutely love the remixes on this Tonie. Gives a great twist and so upbeat, it was a nice surprise! My toddler absolutely loves it too!
I hate it, but my toddler loves it!
As others have said, I would have loved a heads up that these are remixes of the original nursery rhymes. I personally think each song overstays its welcome and could have been a lot shorter, however my toddler loves it, so I get to enjoy it on repeat at all times of the day... At least they are happy!
The songs are great! Amazing upbeat variations of classic children’s nursery rhymes, my toddlers loves it!
We love this tonie 1 and 5 year old both happy to sing, drum and shake along
Cool mix
My son loves these. Don't really care if they are African mix. They are awesome much better than every day Humpty Dumpty that's boring.
A fun twist on the traditional nursery rhyme!
This is a really fun Tonie! It has a fun twist on the traditional nursery rhymes. My toddler likes the beat and music and he often put this one on. Make sure you listen to the demo before buying though so you get a feel for the style and you aren't surprised!
Excellent spin on the classics
Love this. If saccharine nursery rhymes begin to drive you up the wall when they’re played for the hundredth time, you’ll enjoy these absolute bangers.
My 2yo and I love this so much. It’s on repeat in the house and we dance to it!
AWFUL
Awful. Weird Jamaican-style remixes that ruin the songs. Nothing familiar, nothing to sing along to. Total disappointment.
Don’t purchase if looking for traditional
Wanted traditional nursery rhymes and thought that was what I was getting from the track list, but they are all remixed so my kid can’t sing along
