1.0 out of 5 stars Tiny plastic grey telescope, December 14, 2009

My 4-year-old daughter asked Santa for a telescope this year. I have had a lot of trouble finding a telescope that is appropriate for her age. When I found this, I thought I might be in luck. The shipping was fast and the telescope was cheap. However, what isn't evident from the pictures and descriptions on Amazon or the store's website is that this is a tiny, tiny,(maybe 6" tall, with the 'stand'), very cheaply made, all-grey-plastic telescope. I'm suspicious that the photograph of the product is altered to make it look like it is colorful. It is really just a party favor, and when viewed that way, it is not a good deal at all. Don't buy this!

Ditto last review. Small, cheap, blue legs, gray/green body. No bright green, no orange. My 4yo son picked this one out I'm sure because of the colors in the photo. He will have fun putting stickers on it. Luckily, Daddy is getting a spotting scope to play with together. I'm sure he'll have fun with it, but $10 is over priced for this thing.
