Eric Carle - The Very Hungry Caterpillar Tonie Audio Character

You have to spend a long period of time hearing the author talk about the book before getting to any stories or music. My child was immediately bored and you can’t skip this long intro.

You can’t skip the long intro to the book (the first chapter is the intro AND the story together- ridiculous) so my child has got tired of it and taken it off before the story starts.Ross Noble has a lovely voice but the songs have been totally Americanised - very unnecessary!Overall, do not recommend.

My children and I really like this tonie. They love the story of the Hungry Caterpillar and I really like the fact that you get three stories, songs and facts plus the retelling by Eric Carle. I actually don’t mind the introduction because I think it’s quite interesting to hear how the story came about. Perhaps having that section at the end would suit other listeners more so that their children aren’t having to listen for too long before the story comes on. We also enjoyed the songs and thought they were a lovely addition and the narrators of the stories and introduction have great voices. Everybody is obviously entitled to their opinion and will like different things, but I think the 1 star ratings are a little harsh given the quality and content of the tonie.
