Tonies: Julia Donaldson – Luuta-luuta, noidan luuta

We’ve had this on repeat for the last three nights—my daughter actually sits still through the whole witch-and-cat story, and the narration is so warm it’s easy to listen to myself. The tracks are short enough that she can re-pop the Tonie on and off without me having to jump in.

My kid has listened to this one at least twenty times since it arrived last week—the narration keeps them completely locked in, and it’s the perfect length for a before-bed wind-down. The witch’s voice acting is genuinely fun, and they love chanting along with the broom’s swoosh sounds every time.

The sound effects on this one really bring the story to life, my three-year-old sits completely still the whole time. It’s short enough to replay on car rides without anyone getting bored, and the witch’s voice is so fun to imitate afterwards.
