Story Tonies for 19 month old

My toddler loves his Tonies, which are all mostly music/song Tonies. We love reading books as well, we read several hours a day. I want to start getting storytime/interactive Tonies for his age, any suggestions?

So I’ve looked at a few; for example the Brown Bear, Brown Bear Tonie, and it just seems to be the Brown Bear series with Spanish versions. We love that series but the cost doesnt seem to justify the content and runtime. I live in Asia and shipping can cost a lot (not all Tonies seem to be on Amazon) so I have to ship to a MyUS mailbox then ship it here sometimes if they’re not on Amazon.

Out of all his Tonies, the only non-pure music ones are Ms Rachel, Elmo & Tango, and Cookie Monster and he enjoys those especially Ms Rachel and Cookie Monster.

Here’s what we have: Ms Rachel, Elmo & Tango, Cookie Monster, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Caspar Babypants, Laurie Berkner 2, Classical Music Rabbit, Disney Lullabies, Doggyland, Animal Songs Pig, Bedtime Songs Cat, Celebration Songs Squirrel, Playtime Songs Puppy, Traveling Songs Mouse, Counting Songs Fox, Children’s Songs Squirrel

I play some audiobooks from Alexa Kids but he’s not into that. Though the ones I’ve played for him so far do sound monotonous. So I’m looking for storytime AND interactive Tonies for his age that are fun and engaging. For example, is the Blue’s Clues one like the Ms Rachel and Sesame Street ones where they’re a mix of songs and interactivity, where he can answer questions? Is The Very Hungry Caterpillar Tonie worth it if he loves the book or is it redundant? He also loves Finding Nemo (the only movie he has watched) but I’ve read not-so-good things about the Tonie.

Most of the story Tonies seem to be for 3+ but I’m just wondering if any of you found good ones that your under-2 enjoyed

Thank you!
