Review: This is a great product. I believe it is worth shelling out the money, although pricey. My daughter is learning much more accurately about geography and having fun learning. I even like to play with it!

Review: We bought this globe last year when my daughter was turning six and asked Santa to give her a "talking globe". She loves it. We all love it. We spent a lot of time playing with it and had many competitions. My daughter just turned seven. She can locate all the countries in the whole world. She can also name most of the capitals in the world and find them from the globe. Definately this globe helped her a lot. When she gets serious and in competition mood, she plays the "Countries" and "Capitals" games; when she is in the play mood, she listens to the music from different countries and practices sher dance steps and cartwheels with the music. It's been great, certainly worth the money. We can play with it and benefit from it for many years.

Summary: fun and educational for adults too!

Review: My kids love learning with this globe but I have to agree with the comment about the pen. Ours continues to malfunction even with new batterys. For some reason the pen will pick up points of the globe that werent even touched. Its a little frustrating but when it works its terrific.

Review: I bought this globe for my then 5 year old, he didn't really get into it at first, but he's had 3 years to fall in love with it. This is such an interesting globe, our family will "play " this together. Touch the pen on a country and it will tell you the name. Turn the dial and it will then tell you the music of the country. Another turn of the dial, and it tells you the currency, population, etc. Now touch another country or state, and it will tell you how far apart they are, how long it takes to drive it (or even fly on a plane!)
It is a fantastic learning tool for the whole family. I am buying another one for my nephew. Since this is a bit costly, I waited until he was 7 to appreciate it.
I highly recommend this Globe.
