## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where’s the pictures**
A: All Pictures can be found in the Product discription. Additional feel free to listen to the audio samples online and see further details of each Tonie; https://tonies.com/audio-samples/

**Q: What is this toy made of? Is it rubber or a soft toy? What does it do?**
A: Hiya,

They are hard figurines that contain pre-recorded stories or songs. In this particular case it's the story of the gruffalo.

The audio characters are placed on a tonies starter box (sold separately) and will play their content. Think of it as a fun and child safe way of listening to audio box!

My niece loves playing with the figurines as much as listening to them. :)

**Q: How/ where ca I get the accompanying story/picture books?**
A: Any book shop, probably even tesco or Sainsburys.  Or borrow from your local library.

**Q: Size of gruffalo please**
A: The Gruffalo is 5.7 cm high.
