Tonie El Pez Gruñón

My toddler has been obsessed with the Pout-Pout Fish since we got it—he loves that it includes all nine stories and will actually sit still for the whole half hour track. The little Tonie figure is sturdy enough to survive being thrown across the room, which is the real test in our house.

The audio quality is crisp and the narrator’s voice really brings the grumpy little fish to life—my three-year-old actually giggles at the “blub, blub, bluuub” part every time. Nine stories on one figure means we're set for long car rides without hearing the same tale twice in a row.

My kid has basically memorized all nine stories after two weeks of car rides—the narrator’s voices are so engaging that even I catch myself humming the "blub blub blub" part when we stop. It's a solid length for a Tonie, too, so we're not replaying it every five minutes.
