4could get boring  Jan 02, 2008
By Brenda J. Baird
The removable telescope does not have good focus. Although the included slides are educational, I don't think kids will want to listen more than once. Also there are not enough "scientific" slides; too many pictures of animals.

4GoodToy  Sep 20, 2010
By Mom in San Jose, CA
This is a great toy. Kids will use it a lot then put it aside for a while and then use it again. It does seem to interest younger kids (around 7) while the content of the "slides" really won't be retained unless they use it when they're older. Still, it focuses them toward science and many fun facts. It's very durable. The detachable telescope is an added plus.

4Love it !  Mar 19, 2012
By jenwagner8
My 4 year old daughter is obsessed with the solar system.. stars, planets etc. I looked at many telescopes and knew she would not be able to understand what she was seeing. This is perfect ! The slides are clear and fun to look at..it tells you about the slides and she is actually able to answer questions on the quiz. It is educational and fun. I would not recommend it for older kids.

4Good gift for 4 yr old son  Sep 03, 2011
By Celine Bolton
I bought the talking telescope for my son's 4th birthday knowing that he loved everything about science. He likes to switch the slides (especially the ones about the solar system) and enter the codes to hear the comments. You can put all the slides in the little drawer in the back, it is durable. You can detach the telescope from the microscope to play with it. He is just starting to listen to the quiz but it is still a little hard for him to get the answers right. Like everything, I hope we do not lose any of the slides so my second child can play with it later on. Good looking product, durable, fun and educative. I am happy with my purchase.

5PERFECT for my autistic nephew  Jul 05, 2011
By EricaRomeo
This toy got really bad reviews, so I was nervous, but it turned out to be PERFECT for a perfect kind of kid. It LOOKS LIKE A TOY. Don't go in thinking it's really hard science stuff you are doing here. it's a toy. it looks like a toy. But the things it has to say, the quizzes and info it says aloud--that part isn't particularly crafted for 5 year-olds. My nephew is a genius--he can tell me things about science (nature and space especially) I have never heard before. But he's still a very young child at heart--and the combination of Toy plus Science really made him happy. he was thrilled to open it, and I am sure will continue playing with it long after his birthday has worn off (which I can't say for sure about any of his other gifts.)
