One reviewer noted: “This is great and my 17 month old loves it. You get three stories, the three stories in song form and facts about animals – really impressed with how much is included”, reports Wales Online.

Another added: “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. My son falls asleep halfway through if we listen at bedtime, so depends what you want from your Tonie! I recommend!”
