A new Matilda figure is joining the Tonies family, and so is actress Kate Winslet, as she narrates this audio version of the Matilda book, originally released in 1988 by author Roald Dahl.
The classic tale tells the story of Matilda Wormwood, a 5-year-old genius whose parents are too wrapped up in their own lives to even notice how smart she is. To top it all off, her horrible headmistress is a bully who loves to make life difficult for her classmates and teacher. Over the course of the story, Matilda discovers that she has a special power that will change everything and teach Trunchbull the headmistress a lesson she’ll never forget.
Like all Tonies Character Figures, the Matilda figure features handpainted details and a magnetic base so kids can place it on top of the Toniebox to activate audio stories. This particular Tonies figures features a 72-minute story. Recommended for kids ages 3 and up, the Toniebox is a soft, 5-by-5-inch speaker cube (sold seperately) that is designed for screen-free storytelling.
This Matilda Tonie will teach kids about being brave and being bold, that reading can transport you to new worlds, and that everyone has the power to change their story. It is available now on us.tonies.com for $14.99.
