The Four Language Talking Globe

This is the interactive globe with a talking stylus that lets families explore far-flung continents from the comfort of home. Available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, the globe has a stylus that travelers use to hear thousands of curiosity-sparking facts (spoken in English, Spanish, French, or German) about cities and countries. The globe even plays national anthems, calculates distances between cities, and leads geography “scavenger hunts” and trivia challenges that will have children spinning the Earth from Vostock Station, Antarctica (to find the coldest recorded temperature) to El Azizia, Libya (to find the hottest). The stylus recognizes symbols on the globe as well as in the included 48-page booklet. The unit can be updated for free through the manufacturer’s website. Includes USB cable and two AAA batteries. Ages 5 and up. 19" H x 16" W x 12" D. (3 lbs.)
