THE MUSIC IS UNBEARABLE.... YOU'LL END UP DEAF. - OTHER THAN THAT IT IS CUTE AND FUN.

My 2 year daughter received this on her birthday this past October. She loved it from the moment she opened it. She actually forgot she had other toys. I don't think she can get enough of it. It goes everywhere she goes. Fantastic!

I bought these blocks for my 2- year old daughter since she loves to build towers and knock them over and this did some damage to a few of my household-items...
Ever since she got the blocks she played with them every day and doesn't even look at my pots and dishes anymore ;-)
She loves the bright colours and the size of the blocks are perfect for her little hands. They are big enough to make nice towers and light enough to do no damage if thet get knocked over or even thrown. What I love most is that there are no sharp edges at all, so no one gets hurt and no furniture will get scratches. I was concerned the colour might come off after a while (which happened with the blocks we had before) but these even survived when my daughter decided she had to clean them in the bathtub.
A great toy, only they could put some more than just 25 pieces in one box. If your child enjoys playing with blocks as much as mine you might want to buy two sets.

This toy is a great idea, poorly executed. The main problem is that about half of the questions asked by the toy CANNOT be answered by looking on the globe. It's simply too small to include rivers, European capitals, mountain ranges, etc. The toy asks such questions anyway. The sound is also so poor that it is occasionally impossible to understand the question. Finally, the globe has no "trackball action," as advertised. It is merely a globe that rolls around in a frame.

My nephew had the large version and I did not want a huge globe in my house so I bought this hand held version. The sound quality is terrible - I have to often repeat the question, However, my child does not seem to have the same degree of difficulty in hearing it so maybe that varies from person. It is a very durable item, we have it in the car and it has often been stepped on. Also, we leave it there in all sorts of weather and it has shown no ill effects.

The globe is VERY small so it is not often helpful in finding the answers. I still like it though because I think it gets them looking at the whole world not just North America when speaking about geography. I would buy this again

My daughter, who is visually impaired, loves this toy. It reads the questions to her and she gets immediate feedback on whether her answer is right or not. She has learned many interesting geography facts. Because it is small, she takes it in the car and on trips.

Yes, the voice articulation could be a bit better, but I have found that if you turn down the volume, it is more understandable. My daughter, however, has no trouble understanding the voice.
