 For children and adults Aug 04, 2009
This puzzle is fun and educational not just for children (for whom it's an excellent learning tool), but also for adults who want to brush up on (or learn for the first time) the relative locations of all those little countries you can't quite picture in your mind when they're mentioned on the news (especialy since the breakup of the USSR). The cardboard is fairly thick and sturdy. The pieces are shaped like the countries: I wouldn't buy a geography-puzzle without this valuable learning feature. It's colorful in an aesthetically appealing way, and country names, as well as bodies of water, are clearly marked. The box says it's for ages 4 to 104, and I think that's pretty accurate. I bought it for myself, and I'm finding that I remember where countries and seas are much more so than when I simply refer to a map. I've already ordered Africa and Asia, and plan to eventually get Latin America and USA/Canada.

 Not for age 4 May 02, 2009
This is a great concept, but it had a couple of flaws for us: (1) there's no backboard on which to keep track of all the little pieces, which are shaped roughly like each of the individual countries themselves and not like a jigsaw puzzle, and (2) this should not be labeled for age 4 and up. Having opened it up and seen the way the puzzle is made, I have never met a 4-year-old who would be able to put it together, or would have the patience even with help -- maybe age 8 would be more appropriate. For a young child, we got the Melissa & Doug wooden world puzzle, and it was perfect.

Great puzzle! Feb 27, 2009
I got this for my little sister and she liked it. It was a nice way to have fun and help teach her something. I am not really sure how durable this is because it is not used much.

 pieces come apart Feb 23, 2009
This is a great idea that is poorly executed. The problem is that the pieces don't stay together the way normal jigsaw pieces stay together. This is frustrating for both child and adult--the pieces come apart every time you touch the puzzle to add a new piece.
In addition, for the price, the puzzle is made of pretty thin cardboard--not as sturdy as I would have hoped.
Very educational, and I like the fact that most of the pieces are shaped like the countries, but it needs a redesign so the pieces stay put better.
