Average Ratings:

Fasten your seatbelts, put your tray table in the upright position and prepare for take off. Next stop? The world. Touch the interactive pen any place on this interactive, talking atlas and learn thousands of amazing facts. Compare population and land area between say Dundee, Scotland and Oaxaca, Mexico. Find out flying times between Lubbock, Texas and Kyoto, Japan. Learn fascinating facts about continents, countries, capitals, music, currency, highest points and so much more. There is also a "Eureka" game mode that prompts players to find geographic points of interest (giving hints along the way) before time runs out. Up to four players can play six multi-level games with this very chatty, very challenging atlas. And it isn't just for kids either. Everyone will have fun testing their knowledge of geography and exploring the world. This rotating globe and talking atlas features a world clock, interactive pen, volume control, headphone jack and automatic shut-off. Frequent flier miles not included. What it Teaches: * Names and locations of countries * Population between locations * Distances between locations * Comparison of land area * Bodies of water * Highest point * Population * Continents * Geography * Time zone * Capitals * Currency

Summary: Junk
Comment: Within the first 10 minutes the globe split into half. Realignment was a challenge - you can imagine how accurate the selection is when the equator is off by 1/32". No problem though as the pen fell off the next day anyway. Don't waste your money on this poorly manufactured product.

Summary: Sad - We owned 4 of them
Comment: The 4 new globes came defective and all needed replacement batteries. One globe worked for almost 30 days... when we went to return it to Amazon we were charged a 20% restocking fee. These globes are very good if they work! Leap Frog has stopped making them and I wonder why?

I would look at the Oregon Scientific model even for a child... This globe is a waist of $ based on quality.

Summary: Not Happy 1
Comment:
Basically it didn't work. The stylus worked about 80% of the time the first day, about 40% the second day and it did not work at all the third day.

Summary: Love it Love it Love it!
Comment: This globe was not purchased for a child, it was given to an older adult. I have always been fascinated with globes, so when it went on super sale at Amazon, my daughter purchased it for me for Christmas. I was horrible in geography, and when the news would come on about different countries, I could never picture where it was happening. Now, I can follow the news, find the location, and information about the country. I even used it to help my granddaughter with a geography question, I just pulled out the globe and we spent half an hour learning together.

Summary: Smart Globe was a big hit
Comment: This was a gift for my 4 year old. When asked what he wanted for his birthday, he replied a globe. He has played with this over and over and since it is so interactive, it can be used for years to come. Right now he just touches a continent and then repeats what the globe tells him. He is learning the continents at school as well so this is the perfect home "lesson" to help out at school too.
I would reccomend this to anyone! We love it.
