Characters Kids Adore +
Books They Can Check Out

Many Tonies are based on popular literary characters, making them a natural partner for 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!

Meet tonies® + Book Bundles

Our team of licensed librarians has paired eight best-selling Tonies with popular books that complement the characters’ stories and support early‑learning outcomes. Each bundle contains hours of playful learning waiting to be unlocked!

  • 1 Tonies
  • 1-3 corresponding print books, including select bilingual options
  • Durable circulation bag
  • Optional shelf‑ready delivery, optimized for circulation

Shop Tonies Bundles

Toniebox, chargers, headphones, and replacement Tonies sold separately.

Top row: A large brown bear, Sam-I-Am holding a platter of green eggs and ham, Pete the Cat playing a red guitar, and the Cat in the Hat with a blue umbrella. Bottom row: The Very Hungry Caterpillar crawling next to a large red apple, Gerald the Giraffe dancing by a drum, Clark the Shark in a striped shirt, and the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom coconut tree with 'a-b-c' letters.

How the Magic Works

Children place Tonies on top of a Toniebox to unlock stories and songs in the character’s voice. As kids listen, they turn the pages of corresponding books to bring the character further to life through words and images, creating a highly beneficial (and fun!) emergent literacy experience.
