Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Educational Insights Geosafari Talking Globe Jr. (Toy)
I have this globe in my first grade classroom. It is a little above their heads, but creates a great challenge for those who are looking to learn more about the earth and the world we live in. I purchased one off of amazon because one of my students asked for it for Christmas in 2009. His parents asked me to help them find one and I could get free two day shipping so I purchased it for them. It was shipped on time and arrived in great condition.
My students use mine on a daily basis and have for about 4 years now. It still works very well. I do have headphones to go with mine and the power cord. I would recommend getting the power cord if you plan on using it a lot! The family I purchased it for just bought batteries for now. They have been very happy with it and are very impressed with what their child learned from it in my classroom. He has been very excited since he received it and plays with it daily at home. His older brother even likes it and plays with it (he's in 4th grade). This globe offers many activities and exploring modes for the kids so they don't get bored easily with this toy. It helps the students locate different places on the globe and learn about those far away places.

Santa Knows his Globe,
By ReadingTub Reviews (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Educational Insights Geosafari Talking Globe Jr. (Toy)
Santa was all set to deliver the GeoSafari Globe Jr we had asked him to bring our daughter. He took it out of the box and it looked great, had lots of light, but no sound. No matter how many times he changed the batteries, it didn't talk. Needless to say, he had to take it back to the North Pole and it did not come under our tree. About a week later, though, he left a note saying that the elves "fixed it" and put a brand new Oregon Scientific globe under the tree. The OS globe talks, has lots more categories and challenges, adjusts to ALL age ranges (from 15 to adult), and best of all can be updated (online) ... all for the same price! That Santa, he is so smart.

This review is from: Educational Insights Geosafari Talking Globe Jr. (Toy)
My daughter recieved this globe for her 6th birthday. She was so excited, but was very discouraged when she discovered she could not really learn about the continents etc. The globe requires you to read the names of the states, oceans etc. She is a new reader and cannot read the small print on the globe. She was really hoping to point to a place and the globe would teach her about it. This globe asks you questions about a location and you need to find it. She walked away after 15 minutes and has not returned in 10 days. It is being returned.
