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.

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.

Awful
The voices are terrible. Grafalo sounds like he is stupid while the mouse doesn’t sound bright, more like trying to improvise on the spot. Clashes with the outsmarting idea. Voices are terrible, I can’t stand it.

Really quiet and short
Really disappointed with this one. It’s extremely quiet and the song isn’t great. It’s also a really short tonie compared to Tabby Mctat for example. My son never wants this one when I let him choose.

My son is terrified of it!
My 3 year old loves the Gruffallo but this Tonie is a huge ddisappoint as he is terrified of it. Scary music and not narrated well. Run time also very short.

9 month old loves!
I love this Tonie . It’s a really great engaging telling of the great book. My 9 month old looks at the Tonie box numerous times throughout the story. The song is very catchy too!

Regrettable purchase
Where do I start... I'm left suicidal because my 3 year old accused me of ruining the Gruffalo. It all comes down to the voice acting. It's terrible, I feel bad and so should this company

Too short lacks content.
Terribly short. My boy was actually in tears and kept tapping it trying to find more content. I should have checked the content instore but assumed there would be much more than is on it. The story and one song is so tight!
