About this product
Your child brings Julia Donaldson's story to life with this audio character. Place the Gruffalo figure on a Toniebox and let the tale of a clever mouse and his imaginary monster unfold. The deep dark wood comes alive through narration and sound in bedrooms, playrooms or on car journeys. Storytelling becomes a hands-on ritual when little ones choose what to listen to. This magnetic character is hand-painted and easy for small hands to position.
The audio runs for approximately 17 minutes and encourages problem-solving and curiosity through storytelling. It is suitable for ages 3 and up. The Toniebox is required separately as this character does not work independently. Supervision is recommended during use. The figure is compact and portable for story time anywhere. This audio experience supports imagination while giving parents a tech-free screen alternative for quality listening time.

Annoying narration
Don’t enjoy the narration of this at all!! It’s overly animated and actually quite annoying. My daughter doesn’t mind it but does lose interest quite quickly. It’s also frustrating how it takes 20 seconds or so to even get to the story because of the introduction. The song is fine, but for a 2 track Tonie, it’s not worth buying. Such a shame given the popularity of the book

Lola loves the Gruffalo !
My granddaughter is such a huge fan of the Gruffalo and absolutely adores this Tonie. A great story you never get tired of and at 18 months she can chose and play independently which is such a good way to learn.

Fragile
My wee one loves this story but the actual Tonie figure is quite fragile. One of the tusks has broken and he now refuses to play it....🫠

good
my 2 year old is obsessed with this tonie and it has her giggling. although a bit of the narration isn’t the best and i wish she did it a bit more ‘normal’. for the price, the duration could’ve been longer.

Far better tonies available, terrible narration
Our little one adores her toniebox but this one NEVER gets played, even though she loves the Gruffalo story. The voices and narration are terrible and in parts really verging on a little scary! Would not have bought if we'd known, and would not recommend.

Performs as expected

Great Tonie
Absolutely love this Tonie! My daughter loves the different voices the narrator makes when switching characters, she loves the sound effects like that rattling snake and she loves loves the songs (even though they are a bit off pitch for my taste). I would highly recommend

Worth buying, but bad narration.
This story has been a favourite of my little girl’s for a while. However, as others have mentioned, the narration and character voices are sadly not what you would expect. The voices Imelda puts on are very annoying and don’t really fit the story, in my opinion. So just bear that in mind when purchasing! My daughter on the other hand, doesn’t notice that the voices aren’t great, as I’m sure many other younger kids/toddlers wouldn’t! So it’s worth buying it that respect.
