I bought this toy for my son for Hanukkah because it looked educational. When it came it had a demo button, but it didn't work. I had to take the whole toy out of the packaging and replace the batteries. I was glad I had bought it for my own child and not as a gift. He does enjoy playing with it. He's learning a lot about other cultures. The adults enjoy it too and we're all amazed how much we don't know.

I also like the fact that the discs can store right inside the back of the toy. No lost pieces!

We like this toy a lot. It promotes learning of cultural details, such as typical foods, dress, and animals of many countries, including the United States. Many of us grow up not knowing how to identify characteristics of even our own culture, whichever culture it may be, because it seems to be "just how it is". I think looking objectively at our own culture helps reduce ethnocentrism and hegemony. This toy also helps kids learn many country names and practice memorization skills. My kids enjoy being able to switch the disks and watch them spin around through the window in the cover. It's brilliantly designed with a compartment on the back to store the disks, however, my 4 y.o. has trouble getting them in there. Also, the disk cover comes off easily, but it's easy to snap back into place. Overall, well-recommended!
