5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone Needs This, January 27, 2009

By	Nunya (Nashua, NH) - See all my reviews

This Globe is fantastic. Anyone with kids should get it and Oregon Scientific is on the ball when it comes to keeping it updated. The day after Obama's inauguration, I plugged in the pen and it already had an update naming him as the new president of the US. Very kool game playing and I'm learning as much as my 7 year old.

This was a birthday gift for our 5 year old. We researched every type of interactive globe available. This one was by far the best in terms of features and price. We wanted one with a pen, but was also easy enough for him to understand and use. Bets of all, this one will be good for many years because you can change the age range and update for current news and events via computer. Great product for a great price!
