I had a globe as a child - I have no idea at what age they gave it to me but I know I loved it to little bits. It lighted up, too. I was lucky enough that my father got shipped to Nigeria when I was little to help set up a tannery there. He came back full of stories, photographs and little black figurines in a very light wood that seemed dead exotic to me. (When you get ADSL back, you can show her African cities on Google Earth!)
