What Stories Does Your Child Hear with the Highway Rat Tonie?
This audio figure delivers the full, rollicking text of Julia Donaldson’s Highway Rat, brought to life with expressive narration and all the bold, boisterous rhymes that make the book so irresistible. Children hear the rat thunder down the highway, demanding food from a rabbit, a squirrel, a horse, and more — each encounter funnier and more dramatic than the last. The storytelling runs 15–30 minutes, making it ideal for bedtime, car journeys, or quiet play. Fans of other Donaldson classics will also love the Julia Donaldson: The Gruffalo Tonie and the Julia Donaldson: Zog Tonie, both available on storyfigures.
What Age Is the Highway Rat Tonie For?
Recommended for ages 3 and up, this figure is perfectly matched to the developmental stage where children delight in bold characters, repeated refrains, and satisfying story resolutions. The rhythmic, rhyming text holds young attention spans effortlessly, while the themes of greed and cleverness spark wonderful conversations. Older children who already love the book will enjoy revisiting the story independently through the Toniebox, building early listening confidence and a genuine love of storytelling without needing a screen.
