My son has been asking for this since last Christmas This year we bought it for him and have no regrets. He is fascinated by the slides and retains a lot of the information. The toy is reasonably well-constructed, but we have only had it for a few weeks, so I can't say for sure how well it will hold up to the abuse the kids give it.

The removable telescope does not have good focus. Although the included slides are educational, I don't think kids will want to listen more than once. Also there are not enough "scientific" slides; too many pictures of animals.
Interesting Toy January 11, 2007

This toy is fun for small children who want to pretend to be scientists. I ended up having to order this item directly from the manufacturer 2 days before Christmas because Amazon decided to cancel the order 2 days before Christmas for no apparent reason (stocks were available but apparently Amazon couldn't figure out how to use eHobbies website to order the item.) Since this was an item that my 4 year old had asked for from Santa, you can imagine her disappointment on Christmas day when it didn't make it under the tree.
