3.0 out of 5 stars Globe construction a little careless, August 4, 2010

The globe is constructed by gluing together six 60-degree longitude sectors. Although the material appears to be durable, care was not exercised to ensure that the sectors aligned properly. Consequently, as you rotate the globe you become aware of 1 or 2 degrees of shift in latitude at some seams. Obviously, not a problem for casual use but attention to detail could have been better. On the positive side, order processing and shipping were extremely prompt.

My son likes it! He uses it to practice dribbling (without looking at the ball like the NBA / NCAA stars on TV). Kidding aside, I also get to ask him about the locations of various geographical entities - continents through specific towns. He enjoys playing "What's the capital of <country>"?

From my perspective, it's also improving his reading - He can quickly identify syllables corresponding to a spoken word - like the name of a country or city. Spelling's also improved as a result. The size of the ball is perfect for his playing needs. It does lose air every few days, but it's quite easy to blow it back up due to the fairly effective one-way nozzle. The print is quite clear. Most of all, it makes me appreciate just how BIG the Pacific Ocean is!

This is a great globe. It is an excellent learning tool.
It is down right practical, too.
It can be hung from the ceiling (for learning, or for storage).
It takes a lot of punishment so kids can learn "hands on".
If younger siblings get ahold of this, they can't break it or its stand like with the table top globes.
It is a good investment.
