Product Description
Please note: This is a toy. These items are beach balls first and globes second. We have sold thousands of them to happy amazon customers. The geography is not fully up to date. If you are looking for a teaching tool or a 2012 fully accurate globe this IS NOT your first choice.

I ordered this inflatable globe so my young kids (1 and 3) could have fun with a ball in the pool and perhaps cultivate a love of geography in them. And I would be lying if I didn't say that I myself was very excited about this toy. The other reviews of the item were spot on, the ball isn't even as round as a typical beach ball, the printing is horrible, and the maps are way out of date and inaccurate. Please if anyone is looking for an inflatable globe for educational or playtime value, look elsewhere.

This toy is OK for the price. My only complain is the map. I've never seen anything like this. Plenty of misprints, even in countries names. Was it so difficult to find and replicate regular map?

I was so disappointed when I received this globe and began looking at various places I have traveled. Last I checked the Aleutian Islands were a part of Alaska, belonging to the United States. This globe shows that they belong to Austl, wherever that is. Many words are misspelled and misplaced. Yugoslavia began breaking up in 1991 and this globe shows it as one country, STILL in 2011. I purchased this toy to be used for a project for a college class but will not be using it because I would be too embarrassed to show it. If I put my name on a project I would expect the accuracy of the whole project, not just what I've added. I needed a 16" accurate globe of the world and I got a squashed 10" concoction of inaccurate information, too late to use even though I paid $10.00 more for 3 day delivery. Never again! I would have rather paid a few dollars more and gotten an American made globe than one poorly made in China! Luckily I had also ordered another inflatable globe from another company as a back-up. That one is much better though it's not made in America either.

Right Size
Just the right size. Not too big or too small. Labeled well. I would recommend for a home schooling family with not enough space for a larger one.

Don't buy it!
The product arrived with a little role and even I tried to fix it with glue, didn't work. In fact, it looks like far from it looks in the picture! Don't buy it!

Earth
Just a cute beach ball. Fun to look at. Fun to play with. Fun to own. Grandson loves it and that is the important part.

Holds air, the kids love it
I'm not sure how useful it actually is for learning geography, but it's a novel idea and the kids are attracted to it on that basis. Read more

Good stuff
What can I say, can't really believe they require us to put 20 or more words, rediculious. Really. I mean!

get what you pay for.
we bought this because our five year old to help him understand where family lived around the US. It does help but it deflates very quickly too.

Misshapen globes, but still fun
Most of the globes I purchased were an odd shape when blown up, but still worked fro my classroom lessons.
