Editorial Review
Pilot your own voyage of world discovery with the Vtech Fly & Learn Globe. With five discovery modes that encourage real exploration, young adventurers quickly learn about continents, foreign languages, music, and world wonders. Learn Spanish from a friend in Mexico. Fly over Machu Picchu or the rainforests in South America. As the globe spins beneath the puttering plane, a helpful magnifying glass offers close-up views of fantastic sites. Each tilt of the pilot's joystick offers a new world of exploration, a chance to hear new languages, or see new places. While the built-in joystick can be a little hard to control for the most junior pilots, music and words keep them interested, engaged, and learning. The globe also offers quizzes and parent-friendly features like an automatic shutoff that preserves battery life. Requires four AA batteries (not included). --Heather Lyndon

Excellent educational toy. My granddaughter is learning about the continents at this time (she's 5 years old) and she loves playing and answering the questions correctly.
Globe Fun January 2, 2008

My five year old and seven year old daughters love this globe. It teaches about different continents and significant landmarks on those continents. It also has the local music and specific words spoken in the language common to the countries. It's a lot of fun.
 so many choices December 25, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My 5 year old grandson loved the joy sick and the plane - but with all teh options - he easily slides the pointer along the choice options in mid sentence. We are afraid he is going to burn out the motor. Once we cslm him down - and he can respect the toy for what it is suppose to do - I think he will love it. In the begining it is a lot of fun and nois and I don't think he was understanding it's purpose
3 year old knows where machu-pichu is December 17, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
My friend gave this toy to my son for his 3rd birthday. Let me say it's such an educational toy. Not only he learned that Machu-Pichu is in South America, he learned where the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean is on the map. Some reviews complain about the joystick and the plane not landing on the right area. The concept of giving children educational toy is for parents to guide them with it instead of giving them the toy and learn for themselves. My son being only three years old and knowing where the Statue of Liberty, Sydney Opera house, Great Wall of China, etc is a great accomplishment.
 Good Early Exposure to Globe November 27, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this at a toy outlet at a great price for my kindergarten classroom. They were all interested in it, especially at the beginning of school. It is hard to get the plane in an exact spot. Most kids just like moving the plane aroud and don't really answer the questions. Even so, I think this is a great toy to expose a young child to the concept of a globe and what our earth looks like.
