Toys and Games Reviews of Talking Odyssey III Interactive Tabletop GlobeCustomer Review: Would Buy AGAIN and AGAIN - Amazing! Summary: 5 Stars
This globe was purchased as a Christmas gift for my son who was five in November. Prior to buying the globe, he already had a serious interest in geography and flags of the world. What better gift than a talking globe? Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined what a hit this would be! He will sit for an hour or more playing with this globe. Some days, it is all he does. He carries it with him just about every where we go - not in stores of course, but in the car, to friend's houses, etc. In the three months he has had this globe, he has learned the names and locations of approximately 2/3 of the countries, all the continents, oceans, and seas, and many of the capitals. He loves listening to the music for each location, as well. The Eureka game is a family favorite, but we all need his help to keep up. My ten year old son was vaguely interested in world geography before the globe came to live with us, but now his interest is almost as great as his little brothers and he is quickly catching up. The voice on the globe is crystal clear and easy to understand. The globe is sturdy, although I did call and order two replacement stylus's. The first one was damaged rather quickly by my son yanking and pulling on it and even picking the globe up by it occasionally, so it was not because the quality was poor but rough handling. Leapfrog sent me two stylus for $10 (one to replace the damaged one and an extra to keep on hand) and they arrived very quickly. My son now knows how to carefully handle the globe and is very protective of it when other young children are using it, making sure they also handle it properly! If this globe is ever permanently damaged in the future, I would absolutely purchase another one with no hesitation. I have a couple of short videos on youtube (search Carson Odyssey Leapfrog and they should come up) of him playing with it.
