Great learning for the whole family! . We have this inetractive toy in the space and United States version. This one seems to have the widest age appeal. My four year old just mimics the facts she hears the toy say, my eight year old has learned somebsic interesting fatcts about the world and even us adults have been surprised at what we did and didn't know.
The toy has a map of the world and you can play in several modes. You can choose to hear facts about the different contintents and countries or be quized.
This is a great fun way to learn geography and facts about other countries.
I recommend this around the world over the space model.

Scientific Toys Interactive Around the World Map Reviews
not a hit at my house . This was a gift for my 8 year old son. He loves non-fiction and learning about science and recently began drawing maps of the world. Naturally, I thought this would be a great fit for him. Unfortunately, it hasn't caught his attention and I'm not sure why. I can tell you that in the game mode he was stymied by the questions: such as "which country has an area of 4 million square miles?" - Australia. It might have worked better if it had offered some suggestions: Australia, Russia or Canada. Rather than pondering a map of the world and its many many countries. And then in a series of facts/questions he was asked/told this particular question three times in slightly different versions. So for now, I can't give it a great review. He hasn't touched it since that first time testing it out. If I later discover him enjoying it like the other reviews here I will certainly jump back on amazon and amend this review. I do think this could be a great toy for a child, but I guess I want to make sure others know it's not a sure thing.
Additional Comment July 2011: My son just put this in the "donate" pile when we were cleaning his room. A definite dud for us. I tried to renew his interest by playing with it - an additional con is that it is quite loud with no volume control.

Scientific Toys Interactive Around the World Map Opinions
Still in a toy box never been used . I thought this toy looked interesting based on the picture and description, in fact, I thought it was digital. It's actually a huge piece of hollow feeling plastic with a big sticker of the world map on it. My 9 yr. old son never even played with it, and he is really into history and geography, it's still sitting in his toy box since Christmas (3 mos. ago).

Could it Be Any Louder??? . This toy arrived without any instructions, so I called the company that we purchased it from (Back to Basics Toys) and they said they would get us the instructions before Christmas. They never did and never have since. We put batteries in and the thing basically SCREAMED at us so I called Back to Basics Toys again to ask how to contol the volume since we didn't have any instructions. Guess what? You can't control the volume. IT JUST YELLS ALL THE TIME. We sent it back, with any luck they will credit us back our money.
Good facts old technology . This was a X-mas gift for a 4 year old. Not much to hold his attention. No lights or interaction besides pressing the buttons. He enjoys pressing the buttons, but you get the same info everytime. No variation in information presented. Each country is delivered in the same voice, in the same rythem, the same intonation. Only thing that changes is the numbers and names. Sounds like listening to the automated customer help voice.
He has picked up some of the information about various countries, but it just doesn't hold his attention.
Probably better suited for someone who has the patience to sit and listen.

Cons Review
Learning fun for grandkids . I graduated from college with a Teacher's Certification in Geography and taught High School for four years in New Jersey. When I saw this product, I thought it would be great for my grandchildren, especially the 3 1/2 year old. His attention span isn't all that long, yet, but he enjoyed playing with this toy with my help, and especially related to the map of the world, since his Father, my son, had the world map on the computer screen the night before tracking "Santa's journey". It was wonderful to see my Grandson interact with the toy and show some understanding of where he lives in relation to everyone else.
