5.0 out of 5 stars great toy for the price, September 24, 2008

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: VTech Dora The Explorer TV Adventure Globe (Toy)

I bought this toy for my daugher's 2nd birthday and I have to admit it looks even better than online. The toy is durable and fun and has a good educational value for small kids. I got this toy for 18 dollars and for this price this toy works wonders. As for the connector, it DOES come with the toy. It's was hidden underneath the base and I don't know why so many people have been complaining that the connector is missing. Anyway, the toy works well and keeps my daughter entertained for a good time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth the money..., February 1, 2008

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: VTech Dora The Explorer TV Adventure Globe (Toy)

My twin 3-year-old daughters received this for Christmas and LOVE it! One daughter in particular plays with it ALL THE TIME, to the point where Dora is driving me batty! I was amazed at how quickly my daughter figured out how to move the joystick and play the various games (she loves Adventure Play the most), since she's had no exposure to video games previously.

About the adapter: no, it's not included in the box, but neither is it necessary to play with the globe. The globe can take batteries (4 AA), and in my experience I've found them to last a reasonable amount of time. I've changed the batteries once, even though my daughter plays with the globe almost daily.

Excellent toy, better than I imagined it would be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dora Globe, January 25, 2008

By	Grace Rogers (Baumholder,Germany) - See all my reviews

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: VTech Dora The Explorer TV Adventure Globe (Toy)

I love all V-tech items and since I have three daughters am more then appreciative they are buying into the Dora themed products. I love this globe, Dora goes around the world in search of things and the children help find the places on the globe. The only reason I did not give the toy all five stars is because I have only listened to it, not actually played it. I am a believer in learning toys and V-tech is one of the better brands.
