Tonie story recommendations

Hi, my son loves listening to a Tonie as he’s falling asleep. I’m looking for any recommendations for Tonies that are a bit longer in story length? And preferably more story / less songs.

He has the Minions one which he loves. And SpiderMan / Toy Story which he likes but we skip over the songs.

He loves the Moana / Encanto films, does anyone know if those Tonies have long stories or if they are mainly songs etc.

Thinking ahead to Christmas presents already!

Thanks in advance.

How old is he? My son is 6 and loves the Ronald Dahl Tonies.

The book pocket tonies are also
great as they’re the full unabridged book. However it depends on their age. I also second the Roald Dahl, and both Paddington bear ones are great longer story tonies for younger children.

My daughter absolutely loves the famous five one. Much more than some of the modern ones. No songs, just 4 slightly longer stories so sounds like it might fit the bill nicely.

I love our Tonies and can't beat a good roald dahl but I just got into willowtale. They allow you to create stories tailored to your child's emotional development. Like for our five year old, who is really shy, I use it whenever we are about to try something new. Pop in a scenario and it creates a lovely audiobook and printable book with illustrations.
