User Submitted Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden USA Map Sound Puzzle ReviewsDate: 2010-05-01 No ON/OFF switch The biggest problem I got is it doesn't have an on/off switch. So when you turn on/off your light, or even when there is a cloud passing by in the sky, it will start to talk. Think about it: you turned on/off the light in the middle of the night to get something, all the sudden you heard "Alabama ...", quite scary isn't it? Date: 2010-02-12 usa puzzle Very nice product for studying a map of the United States. Beats all others that I have looked at. The only suggestion I have for the makers would be to include some kind of plastic cover because there is no on/off switch. Whenever a "state" goes missing,the sound is activated when a light is turned on in a dark room. Pretty disconcerting to turn on a light and hear a state start talking!!!! Date: 2010-02-01 a bit disappointed I bought this for my 4 year old for Christmas. There are a handful of things I don't like about it. One, the pieces aren't necessarily shaped like the state. It's hard to explain, but each state is outlined on the board and then the actual piece isn't necessarily that exact shape. It's confusing to my daughter who normally does great with puzzles. Two, when you put a piece in place you hear the name of the state and the capital...which is great. But I was wish it only announced the state if it was the RIGHT piece. YOu can put Kansas in Colorado's spot and it will say "colorado, denver". Three, the pieces are breaking easily and my daughter isn't hard on things. Four, the sound is light sensitive...if every piece isn't in place and you turn the lights off or on, you start hearing all the states/capitals being announced. A bit annoying. At the very least I would go with a regular puzzle of the United States...skip the sound. Date: 2009-12-18 Great Puzzle My 3 year old LOVES this puzzle. He learned all his states and capitals within a months time. He was totally captivated by this puzzle...it kept him busy for hours. The only problem we had was when a piece was not on the map, it would say random states until that piece was put back on the map. Other than that, it is a great learning tool! Date: 2009-09-08 Very good product from future homeschooler I think that this is a great product. I give it a 4 to 4 1/2 out of 5. I would say it is perfect except it may be a little dull. Not enough pizazz. Maybe some music or little tunes or something... I don't know. Just that the voice that announces the states and capitols is so boring. That's all. Thanks for reading and letting me share.
