Whether you're trying to ace your next geography test or are just culturally curious, this electronic learning globe covers a lot of ground.

The globe offers a lot of information on the world's countries. View larger.


Use the plane-shaped stylus to select locations and answer questions. View larger.
The stylus is the key to it all. Regardless of which learning mode you are in, you will need to touch your destination with the plane to reveal information and answer game questions. The three modes include: Fabulous Fifty, where facts about food, music, landmarks, and more can be learned for 50 popular countries; World Tour, which provides information like currency, population, highest point, etc. on anyplace on the globe; and Games, which offers six games that require globetrotters to locate places on the sphere before time runs out. There is a repeat button to hear a question again, which can come in handy for younger users.

Aside from loads of information on the world's countries, there is also trivia about states, provinces, oceans, and continents. The Time Zone feature lets you know what time it is in other parts of the world right now. If you've done enough traveling for one day, but still want to experiment in foreign fabulousness, try making one of the 14 recipes out of the included 24-page cookbook. They feature tasty dishes from around the world and are a great way to share what you've learned with the rest of the family.

The Bratz globe requires 4 C batteries and one AAA battery, none of which are included. After a few minutes of inactivity, it will automatically shut off, helping to conserve power.


Take a trip around the world with the Bratz. This totally rockin' globe has three fun learning modes, and is packed with tons of great games and activities. Simply touch the included airplane pen to different locations on the globe to learn about that location. Hop from country to country as you learn fun facts about each place. There's never a dull moment when you're traveling with the Bratz! Requires 4 "C" batteries and 1 "AAA" battery, not included. Measures 11"L x 11.3"W x 15.5"H.
