User Submitted GeoSafari Talking Microscope Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-11-27 Slides are not of real bugs We bought this for a 5 year old and she enjoys it. Very durable. I was disappointed that the "prepared slides" are not of actual bugs - they're pictures of bugs - some of them very, very tiny pictures. For example, the bee picture is microscopic, so when the slide is put in the microscope, it's still smaller than a real bee. I agree with other reviewers that additional slide sets would be nice - even if they don't have a "talk" code to go with them. Date: 2007-08-21 Buttons don't work from get go This really IS a very cool toy. But today is the first time we used it and already the buttons don't work properly. I am going to write the company. In theory if this toy worked as it should I would give it kudos all around. The slides are durable and seem safe enough. The pictures are good and you can, like with any microscope adjust the clarity. There is a volume control on ours so that is also adjustable. It is just getting the buttons to work that is frustrating. From the get go they had my son frustrated and he gave up after a few minutes and walked away. While it was working however, he was facinated with the facts about the bugs. He still has a little trouble keeping one eye closed while looking into the view finder though. (He's 5) I will update this if the company helps us out by replacing the item with one where the buttons work better. Date: 2007-07-26 Science is FUN This child's scope has realistic slides and audio to make the learning experience a fun time. There are bugs and other cool things to look at. The slides are sturdy and kid proof.. I would recommend this product. Our 5 year olds really likes this learning toy. Date: 2007-06-08 Wonderful I actually borrowed this from our library. My kids had a ball with it. I even learned new things! I then BOUGHT one for my nephew for his birthday. My sister says he really likes it, too! Date: 2007-01-19 Scientifically proven to be great fun I bought this for my 5 year old nephew for Christmas. He loved it, his parents loved it, my parents loved it, my husband and I loved it. In fact, the adults were so impressed by this fun educational toy that poor Dev didn't get to see it that much Christmas day! But even in the short time he spent with it, he was already spouting off facts about bugs like a tiny little Mr. Wizard.
