it was made in europe so didn't work on local voltage. i had to buy an adaptor which cost 25.00$+tax. NOT WHAT I'VE EXPECTED. would be grateful for a refund. ofra.

My 3 year old is animal mad and he love love loves this globe. He enjoys talking about where his favourite animals live in the world before he falls asleep at night. We also have friends and family in Scotland, Spain, Italy, Australia, China and the USA, so this has helped him understand how far away from us they are.We use it as the only light in his room at bedtime and it gives off enough soft light to read by as well as providing a great distraction to allow me to leave him - "you look at your globe and i'll be back to check on you in 10 minutes" He's always asleep when I go back in. Because the bulb is so well hidden we can have this right on his bedside table knowing he wont burn himself on it.Its not the greatest in terms that its quite rudimentary - the diagrams are more like illustrations, Wales is a bit squished, and it really only covers the basic animals.Its also a bit difficult to spin but ours may just need oiling or something.Overall a great item for the younger child. Educational, fun and practical!

A fantastic globe for younger children as it doubles up as a night-light and has images of animals located in the countries that they live in the wild. However I was disappointed that it didn’t have as many smaller city and town names printed on it as the much earlier edition of Tecnodidattica used to have.

My 4yr old nephew loved it, and the illustrations across the map turned learning into fun and fun into exploring.The light up of the Globe is lovely at night, though I would caution that the connecting power cable (not pictured in product photos) is quite chunky and not very pleasing to look at. It would be much better if the cord match the colour of the Globe's base and if it were thinner and longer.Overall very happy!

I would give this product and seller 5 stars. Although when it arrived, the light switch didn’t work; when I contacted the seller, they promptly replied to my email and sent out another globe. This was done all within a couple of days and I didn’t need to fuss about returning the first globe (which is still good - just doesn’t light up). The globe itself is great as you can see the animals that live around the world. My nephew loves it!
