A Very Wide Wild World

Advantages: You can do nearly anything you want
Disadvantages: You can't leave your town if none of your friends have their gates open

...gate, it lets you explore further into the world. When you get there you will find two gatekeepers. The one on the left is Booker and he will tell you what's new, what's lost or you can tell him you want to change the flag. On the right you will see Copper and you can tell him if you want to go out, invite guests or find out your friend code. Going out is great if your getting bored of your own town. There are two ways of doing this, either DS to DS or using Wi-Fi, I personally use Wi-Fi because then you have more options. To go to other towns you need to get other people's friend codes, which is easily done by going to different sites, such as www.animalcrossingcommunity.com. When you go to other towns you will find they are different to yours, and their trees contain different fruit, so what I do is ask for some fruit, take it back to...

Review of Animal Crossing: Wild World (Nintendo DS)

Wide Open Spaces

Advantages: Great first album, good introduction to country
Disadvantages: None

...Wide Open Spaces If you?re looking for a great starter country album then look no further than Wide Open Spaces by The Dixie Chicks. It?s a great introduction if you have never really listened to country before and are not really a fan of the old classics yet, like Dolly Parton, etc, but want to experience a bit of the blue grass, country and that whole scene and get into the music. This album offers you upbeat, toe tapping, yee-hawing, classic story telling country with a new modern, sexy twist. The Dixie Chicks is made up of three females, Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines and Emily Robison. They are the highest grossing female band in the US, selling over 36 million albums as of March 2009! They actually formed in 1989 with a different formation but did not release their debut album, Wide Open Spaces, until 1998. They have...

Excellent travel system

Advantages: Folding down, multifunctional
Disadvantages: Slightly heavy

...Being a first time Mum, I searched around all the high street shops for a functional and attractive travel system. Out of all the prams this one had the easiest folding down system, even tho it was slightly on the heavy side I could fold it down with 1 hand! The carry cot was great for the first 4 months fitting in to the pram snuggly as the seat folded flat (which I found alot of other prams didn't do) The car seat had a base that made it so easy to take the baby in and out of the car (no messing around with seat belts every time!) It is also very well padded, however it didnt come with cushioned protectors on the straps. When we were taking baby home for the first time, the midwife told us it needed them which were only £5 extra to buy. She's in the buggy part now which has three postions and harnesses which is great. Overall fab...

Review of Graco Quattro Tour Travel System

TRAVEL around the world in 79 days!

Advantages: there is non
Disadvantages: the worst book in the world!

...shortened it way too much, and the exciting bits you'll find in the original book was the only things in this book, therefore there was no tension no interesting stuff. And no boring stuff (but all the exciting stuff together makes it boring!) I like the boring stuff in a book because it can build up tension and make you want to read an excited bit... in this book retold by John Kennett didn't have any boring stuff :-( Hmmmmm what else should I type? I know more about the story. Well the differences between the film and the book: Right well I've only seen the film which has Jackie Chan in. Well in that film they go around the world in a hot air balloon. But because this book was made ages ago they travel by steamer (Boat) and train. In my opinion that makes it pretty boring. In the book they have a detective after them who imprison them in...

Review of Around the World In Eighty Days (Retold by John Kennett) - Jules Verne

Open wide for Wendy

Advantages: Novel design featuring a built in hand puppet to tell the story, bright images
Disadvantages: Pages can get caught on the puppet

...'Wendy the Wide-Mouthed Frog' is a children's book written by Sam Lloyd, author of 'Calm Down, Boris' and 'You're Not So Scary, Sid' amongst others. What all of these books have in common is a hand-puppet built in to the centre of the book, which forms the basis of the story. In this particular story, the star is Wendy a wide-mouthed frog. All that is required to bring Wendy to life is for the reader to pop their hand into the puppet and mimick Wendy's mouth movements. I haven't actually read any of the other books in the series so this was still quite a novelty for me to read and both my two year old and my six year old son thought so too. I first came across this book when it was read at the 'Baby Bounce & Rhyme' group that I go to with my youngest son. The sessions always start off with a story and when Wendy was read out...

Review of Wendy the Wide-Mouthed Frog - Sam Lloyd

Best Travel System but for how long?

Advantages: all in one solution
Disadvantages: Heavy and large when folded

...We bought the Graco Quattro Tour Travel System after looking at everything on the market comparing costs, accessories, weight etc. This travel system was for my first child so I had no previous experience to help me. The whole concept of the travel system is revolutionary; my mom was so impressed. Having the car seat/infant carrier which effectively turns the buggy into a pram and also means that your baby who has fallen asleep in the car can be effortlessly moved into the buggy, is a marvelous invention! We bought the Graco fro Babies R Us in January 2005 for £190. It came with an auto base, weather shield, foot muff and changing bag (the only thing I have had to buy additionally is a parasol). The autobase is a brilliant idea. You fix it in the car once and the infant carrier just clicks in place. No messing around...

Review of Graco Quattro Tour Travel System

Travelling compactly

Advantages: Folds up compactly, bright colours, use as a cot or play pen
Disadvantages: Thin mattress base

...~*~*~INTRODUCTION~*~*~ My mother in law wanted to buy a travel cot when my son was born as she will be looking after him when I go back to work. We looked around on the internet and when she saw the Graco compact she decided that was the one, she loved that it was nice and bright and thought my son would enjoy playing in there as well as sleeping. We ordered it from Kiddicare but unfortunately they have stopped selling it. I have since seen it on Amazon, Halfords and Ebay though for roughly the same prices. ~*~*~FEATURES~*~*~ -Suitable from birth to around 3 years. -It comes in a handy carry case, making it easy for travel. -The travel cot unfolds easily and I actually put it up in a couple of minutes on my first attempt. -The sides are mesh which is nice and soft for wriggly babies banging their heads, also...

The Time Traveller's Wife

Advantages: beautiful story, moving
Disadvantages: none

...My husband bought himself Audrey Niffenegger?s The Time Traveller?s Wife as he is a sci-fi fan. He read the book and put it on the bookshelf. After a few weeks I read a few reviews on it and discovered that we have this book so I started reading it. It was a very engaging reading I could hardly put the book down. When we heard that there will be a film based on this exciting and brilliant novel we decided to go together to the cinema to watch it. Well, I had to wait a lot until I could really watch it but it was worth waiting for it. The Time Traveller?s Wife was planned for a fall 2008 release but it was delayed until August 2009. The reason of the delay was that they had to do a reshoot and they had to wait for the meadow to look the same again and funny but for Eric Bana?s hair to grow out again. He had a role in Star Trek where he...

Review of Two Worlds (PC)

THE WORLD WIDE WEB

Advantages: Great Sites
Disadvantages: -

....optastats.com and various other news and groups. 8. www.hotmail.com - One of my e-mail accounts which I use to keep in touch with mates, and other people that I know all over the world. Great way to communicate, free and easy and you can use it anywhere. Also linked into MSN messenger for instant messages and chat between people on the hotmail site, which again I use a lot. 7. www.dotmusic.com - Music is an important part of the Internet for me. Dot Music is basically a news and review site for all sorts of music and latest releases and a good level and quality of content to read. I also use WimMX and Morpheus to download music files, this is also linked into this ranking. 6. www.google.co.uk - My favourite search site, and one of if not the best on the net. Both quick and reliable with a very large amount of sites listed, this is all I want from...
