 Great product except for one thing... March 13, 2007

We got this for my five year old son for Christmas. He has a space-themed room and this fit in perfectly. He loves it and has it on every night. What's really great about it is that it will turn off automatically. What's not so great about it is that it just burns up the batteries! We've already had to replace the batteries three times since Christmas (and the latest batteries I put in where Energizer Lithium e2; they lasted about 3 1/2 weeks). The battery issue is the only reason I gave this product four stars instead of five.
 My child has really enjoyed this January 12, 2007

This was a Christmas gift for my 8 year old daughter who is into absolutely nothing but animals. She absolutely loves it. She turns it on every night and her and our other children go and watch it. I even watch it. It has two settings. 1. Is where it goes through the phases of the moon. I was mistaken about how this works, I thought that it went through the phases along with the moon, however, it blinks through them pretty quick. 2. The moon is just set on a single phase of the moon. I have seen them go through both of the settings, there is a small remote control that the child can set themselves. The only problem with the remote is that because of its size it can get easily misplaced, especially if your kids are like mine and would lose just about anything. My suggestion for this would be to put some velcro on the back of the remote and stick it somewhere. Also it has a sensor and turns off when the sun comes up and back on when the sun goes out. It also runs off batteries. Ours came with a cd, which I thought would be something that they could watch on the computer, but it isn't it is just talking about the moon. Overall it was a good purchase, and I would definitely recommend it for a child who is very hard to shop for.
What a neat idea! May 6, 2007

My son became a space "expert" after his 3rd grade class studied the solar system. We've hung his moon in his room and he uses it every night. The CD is informative and well-paced for younger kids. The information is kid-friendly and helpful for learning about space and the moon. We ended up buying on for our niece, too! The Moon in My Room would work well in a classroom, as well (I'm a teacher, too). Highly, highly recommended!
 Very nice idea but eats batteries way too fast... October 30, 2007

Get some rechargable batteries for this because you'll need them when you realise it eats through 4 (Duracell) AAs every two/three weeks.
A disappointment considering the innovative design of this great educational night light.
Still recommended though.

Not the typical gift one would expect for their two year old, however, our little guy loves the moon and stars, so we couldn't resist. Its a great addition to his bedroom wall (well out of reach). It gives off a soft glow at night and can be programmed to turn off after 30 minutes. There is also a way to program it to turn on when the room gets dark, but we are avoiding this. For anyone interested in the phases of the moon, astronomy, etc, it is a fun gift.
