2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed., October 11, 2009

My grandsons own and love the "Moon in my Room," also by Uncle Milton, so I was disappointed by this telescope. I found both the pictures and the "telescope view" grainy, and the audio flat. Nothing to excite a child's interest in astronomy. As usual, Amazon was great, and made returning the telescope easy. The toy looks cool, but was not the quality I expected from Uncle Milton.

Grandson was kind of disappointed in this gift. Telescope is not very good quality and the space scenes are old after viewing a few times. Wish I would have spent the money on a different toy. Not the quality I expected for the money from this company. Amazon was great with fast delivery.

My 5 year old has been asking for a toy telescope for over a year. Finally this Christmas, Santa brought her this one. She plays with it but once you go through the 10 items and listen to the facts, the fun is over. I wish it had more photos and facts. The photos' facts do consist of more than just one sentence. so that was a plus when i pressed the bottom for the same photo twice. The telescope mode (i.e. no photo), is just ok....can't see that far, but we can still see and use it as a telescope.
