Print illegible, Eswatini incorrectly labeled

Purchased for my geography-loving seven year old. Arrived yesterday, only to find that many of the names for African, European and Asian countries (as well as most of the southern Caribbean) can't even be read. The print is too small. Enterprising kid has a magnifying glass . breaks that out only to find that the resolution on the printing is so low, the smaller names just look like black lines. Eswatini still labeled as Swaziland . that change happened in spring 2018! Most people wouldn't even notice that, but my husband and I went there on our honeymoon so we excited to tell her about the country and the name change. So much for teaching her world geography.

Pros
  • Can be used at home or on the go
Cons
  • May not be inclusive enough of different learning styles
