Amazon.com Product Description

Take a fun and educational trip around the world with the Bratz Girlz. Whether you're trying to ace your next geography test or are just culturally curious, this electronic learning globe covers a lot of ground. The colorful orb has a wide base with a plethora of buttons (for a plethora of facts), spins easily enough on its axis, and has a stylus in the form of a purple airplane attached to its right side.

The globe offers a lot of information on the world's countries. View larger.

Use the plane-shaped stylus to select locations and answer questions. View larger.

The stylus is the key to it all. Regardless of which learning mode you are in, you will need to touch your destination with the plane to reveal information and answer game questions. The three modes include: Fabulous Fifty, where facts about food, music, landmarks, and more can be learned for 50 popular countries; World Tour, which provides information like currency, population, highest point, etc. on anyplace on the globe; and Games, which offers six games that require globetrotters to locate places on the sphere before time runs out. There is a repeat button to hear a question again, which can come in handy for younger users.

Aside from loads of information on the world's countries, there is also trivia about states, provinces, oceans, and continents. The Time Zone feature lets you know what time it is in other parts of the world right now. If you've done enough traveling for one day, but still want to experiment in foreign fabulousness, try making one of the 14 recipes out of the included 24-page cookbook. They feature tasty dishes from around the world and are a great way to share what you've learned with the rest of the family.

The Bratz globe requires 4 C batteries and one AAA battery, none of which are included. After a few minutes of inactivity, it will automatically shut off, helping to conserve power.

I purchased this for my 5 year old daughter. My family travels extensively & this is just what I was looking for. It arrived with a blemish on the globe itself, but Amazon offered me a 20% discount if I wanted to keep it. I colored the spot in with a pencil & it is OK. The price is a little expensive, so shop around. The volume is good & easily understandable. It has so many activites, a little advanced for a 5 year old, but with Mom's help, not a problem. She loves listening to the facts about the countries, and also the music. This is something that we will use for the next couple of years anyways. It is probably good for ages 5-9.

We purchased this globe for our eight-year-old daughter. The globe came with postage size "advertisements" stuck around the globe. When my daughter tried to take off the "advertisements" the paper on the globe came with them. I have tried since the end of December to resolve this issue with MGA Entertainment, and they have for a lack of a better word, called me a liar and said my daughter has stuck "stickers" on the globe and that is why there is no Mexico, Israel, Japan, and part of the Atlantic Ocean. The sad part is that my daughter likes the globe and is learning about different languages, music, and currency. She does not want to give up the globe, but for what you pay, I would really like a replacement from the manufacturer.

I was worried when i made the purchase, but everything is great about it. Some of the buttons are hard to move and you have to be gentle, but overall great price and product. The stickers were not on the globe, rather on a plastice strip around the globe, so nothing was stuck to it. I was worried when i first put the batteries in because it wouldn't turn on, then I read the instrution pamplet and it explained the battery door need to be on tight or else it wouldn't turn on. Once I tighted the door, it turned on and worked great and my child is in love with it.
