Artful, Soothing and Educational
The winner of several industry awards, including the Editor's Choice blue ribbon from Baby Talk, each Twilight Turtle is individually hand painted for a unique, artful look that complements any nursery or children's room. Plush and soft, with a sturdy plastic shell, this nightlight is best placed on the floor in the center of the room, where it projects a starry night sky onto the ceiling and walls. For interactive fun, parents can also sit with their children and identify and describe the features of eight major constellations, including the Big Dipper and the Big Bear, with the help of the beautifully illustrated Star Guide. The Twilight Turtle also includes a warm-hearted story about how Twilight Turtle, separated from his father, uses the constellations to find his way home. User-Friendly Operation
Simply pressing the button on the turtle's shell ignites the stars and keeps them glowing for a full 45 minutes--just enough time for most children to drift into sleep. At this point, the Twilight Turtle automatically shuts off to preserve battery life. Another push of the button reactivates the projection. In addition, the easy selection of the three soothing color choices allows your child not only to learn to identify different colors, but also to truly experience them as well. Amber radiates warmth and peace; green creates a healing and renewing atmosphere; and blue helps calm the senses. The soft, illuminating glow the Twilight Turtle emits also serves as a nightlight that makes the darkness less frightening. Makes a Great Gift
A great gift for children who are afraid of the dark, or even adults who have trouble falling asleep, the Twilight Turtle runs on three "AAA" batteries (included). It also comes with a certification of adoption, and measures a compact 14.0 x 5.0 inches (WxH), so it's easy to display and store. About Cloud b

 A cute nightlight June 30, 2008
I bought the twilight turtle for my baby, to make his room more relaxed and for him to have something to look at on the walls & ceiling. So far, he's not impressed with it, but I think he'll like it more as he gets older. There are three shell colors to pick from- amber, blue and green. The green definately shows up the best on the walls & ceiling, followed by the blue and then amber. I never use the amber color because it is so dim you can hardly see any of the stars when you turn it on. The other problem I have with this is that there's really not a good enough spot in the room for the stars to show up without looking blurry. Unless you had a tall dresser or something right in the middle of the room, some of the stars are going to be kind of blurry, but that's just how it is. I do like how it will automatically shut off for you.
 Overpriced, disappointed in quality June 26, 2008
For what I paid, I'm really disappointed.
PROS
-light weight, no cords, can be placed anywhere with ease
-great idea for a night light
-enchanting when its placed just right (in middle of a small room set 5-6 feet up)
-self timer off at 45 minutes
CONS
-too expensive for the quality of the item
-cheaply made, and you cannot replace the light inside once the bulbs burn out (3 separate amber, blue and green bulbs - NOT led so they won't last too long)
-the constellations are very difficult to make out (I love astronomy and can identify stars very easily in the night sky) - these are ambiguous and badly placed and sized
-only some of the stars (a few directly above the turtle) show up on the wall as 'star' shaped - the other half look like Star Trek Federation symbols, those triangular things, or like blobs
-impractical to place - if you place it on furniture along the walls of a room ie. on the dresser or on top of a shelf, you get a cluster of tiny stars against the nearby wall and loose fuzzy big stars on half the ceiling, and none on the other wall (in a room 12x14)
Save your money and get some other machine / light to make constellations. I may try to get my money back based on the poor quality. A shame since its such a great idea.
 Lots of Fun June 26, 2008
I love this turtle! The babies like looking at the ceiling when I click it on and it makes those 3am feedings more entertaining for me! I can't wait until the kids get older and we can figure out the constelltions together. I sent this to my neices and nephews I liked it so much.
Simple, fantastic addition to the nursery June 17, 2008
This is a fantastic product that was loved by everyone at our baby shower and, most importantly, by our new daughter. At only 5 days old, she already calms and stops fussing when the twilight turtle is turned on. I would absolutely buy this again for myself or for a friend!
 The leads simply stopped illuminating!!! June 14, 2008
I bought this last year when I was expecting my daughter. It was the very first thing we bought for her cuz it seemed so very cute. Once she was born we placed it in her room, to use while she nursed at night. It was great while it lasted. My daughter wasn't even five months old when the lights stopped working. We changed the batteries, thinking that could be the problem but nope... the lights are still dead... We barely got to enjoy it for a few months, fifteen minutes each night....
Returning it woudn't even be an option since we live so far (south america) and would have to pay for the shipping to our PO box in Miami!!!
UPDATE: I wrote to the Cloud B Costumer service, not expecting a refund or an exchange, but only to see if they could suggest a way to fix the products flaw. Their answer was: "Unfortunately, we cannot do anything on this particular problem as this item is well beyond our warranty period." Hope they could be a little more helpful. Very disapointed.
