Editorial Review:Amazon.co.uk Teacher Review :The Junior Explorer Globe is another great learning aid for children from award-winning toy manufacturer LeapFrog. The globe is set at an angle to the base, on which players will find the volume control, the on/off button, the magic pen and the mode selector dial. It will spin around in both directions but care must be taken not to push it around past the stop or it will get damaged. The magic pen is designed so that when it touches the globe, new discoveries are made and new facts revealed, allowing children to experience the different continents through songs, language and amazing facts about animals and places. Particularly fascinating is the ability to access 16 foreign languages, with set phrases.
There are four learning modes: "Explore" encourages children to touch pictures and learn about the world; "Search the World" encourages them to use the facts they learned in the "Explore" mode, as clues to find animals and places on the globe; "Adventure Game" plays fun, learning raps, that include the name, location and sound of the image, and "Music Mode" reveals regional music and relevant picture tunes.
The globe is aimed at children aged three years and above, though help and guidance will be needed at the youngest end of the age group. Colourful, attractive and easy to use, the Junior Explorer Globe has catchy music with easy-to-follow instructions, albeit with an American accent, but this isn't particularly distracting and doesn't detract from the globe's educational value. The product comes with a comprehensive information pamphlet that uses simple language and explanations. This particular product allows your child to develop essential skills, namely exploration, creativity, language development, cognitive development, perceptual skills and motor skills. It is powered by batteries, but the ones included are for demonstration purposes only and should be replaced to improve overall performance.
LeapFrog aims to create an environment where children can explore many varied experiences, especially those that encourage discovery and foster learning success. At the same time LeapFrog products are relevant to specific age groups, recognising that as children grow they need to be challenged in more complex ways. For pre-school children they aim to develop basic and fundamental skills to help youngsters to prepare and enter full-time school. The Junior Explorer Globe will help this process enormously, in a fun, entertaining and interactive way. This is an excellent product that will appeal to old and young alike. --

I thing this toy would be very interesting for all children of my son's age (4). They can learn much about countries they can't visit, because we are not able to give them a chance to visit all that countries. From that reason I would be very happy if my George (Djordje) be able to have this gordius toy.
