Product Description

The Gruffalo's Child is the much-loved sequel to one of the most successful picture books ever written, and this Yoto card brings it to life with the same warmth and quality as the original. On one wild and windy night, the Gruffalo's child defies her father and ventures into the deep dark wood — where, of course, the Big Bad Mouse doesn't really exist. Read by Imelda Staunton, the story has the same irresistible rhythm as Julia Donaldson's best work, and it lands every time.

The card includes three tracks — the full audiobook with music, a read-along version that lets children follow the story at their own pace, and The Gruffalo's Child Song. It is exactly the same format that made the Superworm card such a hit with Yoto families, and it rewards repeat listening just as well. At twenty-two minutes total it sits perfectly in a bedtime routine or a quiet moment in the car.

If your child already loves the Gruffalo and Friends Collection, this is the natural next card for your collection — and it pairs beautifully with the Superworm card, also narrated by Imelda Staunton.

How It Works

Insert the card into any Yoto Player or Yoto Mini and the content begins playing immediately. Use the right dial to skip between the three tracks — audiobook, read-along, and song. The read-along version plays at a slightly slower pace, ideal for children who want to join in.

Yoto FAQ

How does Yoto work?

Insert a Yoto card into your Yoto Player or Yoto Mini and the audio begins playing immediately. Remove the card and the audio stops. Use the right dial to skip between tracks and the left dial to adjust volume. No apps, no screens, and no buttons for children to navigate — the card is the control.

Do I need WiFi to use Yoto?

WiFi is only needed to download new card content via the Yoto app. Once downloaded, everything plays offline — the Yoto Player stores up to 600 hours of content and the Yoto Mini stores up to 500 hours.

Are all Yoto cards compatible with all Yoto players?

Yes — all Yoto cards work with the Yoto Player (all generations) and the Yoto Mini. Accessories such as Adventure Jackets and travel cases are player-specific, so always check the product description for compatibility before purchasing.

What age is Yoto suitable for?

Yoto players are suitable from age 3 and up under adult supervision, and the card library covers everything from baby and toddler content through to audiobooks and music for older children and teenagers. Many families use Yoto well into secondary school age.

Is Yoto better than Tonies?

Both are excellent screen-free audio players. Yoto uses flat cards rather than character figures, which makes storage simpler and cards more affordable. The Yoto Player also includes a nightlight, room thermometer, and ok-to-wake clock. The best choice depends on which content library suits your child — both have strong catalogues.

Is Yoto safe for children?

Yes. Yoto has no screen, no microphone, no camera, and no adverts. All card content is pre-approved and child-safe. Volume is limited to protect hearing, and children are in full control of what they listen to.

Can Yoto connect to Bluetooth headphones?

Yes — both the Yoto Player and Yoto Mini support Bluetooth headphones. Yoto's own wireless headphones are designed specifically for the players, but any standard Bluetooth headphones will work.

Can Yoto cards be shared between players?

Yes — a Yoto card can be moved between any Yoto Player or Yoto Mini and will play on all of them.
