Reviews Editorial Reviews (1) Customer Reviews (1) Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Put this globe on the coffee table and watch the family gather round. The up-to-date, 12-inch globe talks and plays music (you control the volume). The buttons on its base invite participation in an 11,000-questions-strong interactive quiz that one to four people can play, with each player selecting the answer time and level of difficulty. Push the Repeat button to stop the clock and hear your question again. A Help button offers clues. Most answers can be found on the globe (Which body of water borders Madagascar?). Others test cultural knowledge (Which country is associated with the song "Kumbaya"?). The instruction book is clearly written and illustrated, and includes a geographical glossary and basic information about geography (explanations of latitude and longitude, even a definition of "analemma"). An optional AC adapter can be jacked into the base, and other models include a four-way headphone jack.

A fun way to learn so much geography! Fun:   Educational:   Durability: Reviewer: A toy enthusiast from New England      July 21, 1999 I have this in my classroom, and it's one of the most popular free-time choices. When students visit from other rooms, this is usually the first place they go. I am amazed how absorbed children get playing with the globe. My own children have spent hours playing the games and just listening to the music when they have to go to work with Mom. I think the voice is espescially clear and easy to listen to. It's a fun and painless way to learn world geography. 77 people found this review helpful.
