New tonies® + Book Bundles from Follett Content are a playful addition to your Library of Things, turning storytime love into everyday reading – all without screens. The unique pairing of audio figurines and print books creates a novel new way to attract visitors, boost circulation, and support emergent literacy efforts.
Storytime Love Becomes Everyday ReadingTonies bundles leverage a simple truth – listening naturally leads to reading. When kids place Tonies figurines atop a Toniebox, they unlock lively narration. While they listen, their curiosity draws their attention to the pages of matched books, bringing the characters further to life and helping unlock a child’s love of reading on their own time. The experience encourages active listening, vocabulary building, story comprehension, and other foundational skills for emergent literacy.
Circulation-Ready Bundles Assembled for YouBecause many Tonies are based on popular literary characters, there’s a natural connection to the books that bring them to life. Matching characters with books, not to mention prepping them for circulation, used to take time. But not anymore!
Our literary experts have matched 1-3 books with popular figurines, along with a durable circulation bag, to save your staff hours and create a playful new emergent literacy tool for your library. Designed for ages 1-9, and ideal for Grades PreK-3, they connect what children hear with what they see on the page, transforming their affinity for favorite characters into page turns and words learned.
