This Magic Adventures Globe is amazing!! The globe is 10" and spins. The built in 2.7" LCD screen has over 600 BBC, 5+ hours of custom videos so that children can explore countries from around the world. Your child simply uses the stylus and taps anywhere on the globe to trigger videos. They then can watch videos about the country they have chosen. Children learn about fascinating facts about each country while watching videos. The video screen is very clear and crisp. The sound quality is good. There are game features built into the globe. The first is a quiz show where questions are asked and the child has to find the place on the globe that is being talked about. The second is another game called Around the World. The goal is for your child to circle the globe in 20 days or less. This goes country to country and the child has to find the next country that is being talked about via clues. They are told what country to go to and they have to find that country on the globe. A third game is, Where in the World. Clues are given and the child has to figure out where they are going. There is a geology setting. On the globe there are little black triangles and your child can tap those triangles to learn more about geological features in those areas. You can download additional expansion packs from the App Center. These expansion packs cover topics such as dinosaurs, food, art, music, mythology, inventions, and pioneers. This globe is incredible. The intended age for this globe is 5-7 years of age. My daughter is 11-year-old and she really enjoyed playing with this globe. I would definitely say that the age range goes well beyond the intended. The globe requires 4 AA batteries. LeapFrog Magic Adventures Globe is a wonderful learning tool. I would definitely recommend this globe. My daughter has really enjoyed playing with it. It makes learning fun!
