The idea of interactive globe's great. Our son was happy also very concerned about the gift. The shells could even put together well (contrary to other reviews). But the TipToi pen just does not speak often with us, if we want to hear when you tap on the globe. Sometimes it is possible to coax him his contribution, if one soulful turns the pen at different angles over the globe. Pure patience thing. Elsewhere again everything works as expected. We have other TipToi products and therefore know how the pen was supposed to react (and it still does in the other, so it's not the pin). So we complained the globe and quickly got a replacement. Unfortunately, there is thus no better, the disappointment is great. So there is a fundamental problem and not the product of a single article ... Now the second globe is unfortunately back to compensation, we will now have to do without. Pity!
