Ice Station Zebra -- unable to put it down

Advantages: A really entertaining read
Disadvantages: none

...First and foremost forget the film, it is unable to capture the humour and intensity fully. This is one of my favourite books, containing just the right mix of intrigue and humour, whilst running along at a great pace . We start off meeting the major characters very quickly, and a battle of wits starts immediately, between commander Swanson and crew of a US nuclear submarine and Dr Carpenter, sent from London to join the Sub on a special mission to trace a missing ice station named Zebra. (needless to say this may not be the whole truth) ! Now the story begins with lies, subterfuge, lies, sabbotage, lies, murder, lies,one of my favourite lines comes from this book and if you read it, its the one about I almost believed it myself. The story twists and turns with some great descriptives along the way to really bring you into the story...

Review of Ice Station Zebra - Alistair MacLean

Fisher price bounce and spin zebra..... A bouncing spinning Zebra

Advantages: Keeps the little ones happy
Disadvantages: Annoying music, noisy..... but thats just us ;o) the kids will love it

...My little one had this for christmas last year and it's still going strong today so yes it is pretty durable and tough! It's a super cute bouncy spinning zebra, which plays (annoying ahhem*) music!! It came in a rather large, heavy box as I remember, but putting it together was a doddle (even for me!!!) The green base snaps together with each triange then forming a hexagon, it fits around the base of the zebra (I had to put his handles on too) and then thats pretty much it (there may have been some screws I can't remember). My little one has had hours of fun on it (so have the older two) but it seemed a lot smaller than I expected?? At £45 it wasn't cheap but it was one of his big presents so I didn't mind. I bought mine out of the christmas toy catalouge, but they are sold in argos and toysrus for roughly the same price. It...

Review of Fisher-Price Bounce And Spin Zebra

No zebras were harmed in the making of this toy

Advantages: sweet rattle
Disadvantages: none

...Zebras, I've noticed play a fairly big part in little boys clothing. Before Scarlett was born we didn't know her gender so we brought some gender neutral clothes and some reduced blue sleep suits and vests, which featured zebras in various designs. Little girls are bunnies whilst little boys are zebras. Whilst looking round for Christmas presents for our little one we found this cute little zebra rattle. The zebra has blue and light blue stripes, small children must get a strange idea about animals! It has a smiley face and a playgro logo on the middle of it. It has a velvety, soft texture to it. Attached to the main body of the zebra is a clear plastic ring, with half of the ring showing and the other half in the zebra body. In the ring are six fairly large balls of the following colours, green,purple. Red, blue, orange and yellow...

Review of Playgro Noah's Zebra Loop Rattle

a racing zebra??

Advantages: great film
Disadvantages: n/a

...I watched this film one Sunday afternoon and I could not believe that I had not seen it before this was a great children's film and was very entertaining. Just when you think your eyes are deceiving you yes it really is, it's a Zebra and he is really cute. This film like all animal films has animals that can talk. The film begins when a travelling circus accidently leaves a zebra in Kentucky on a miserable stormy night. The zebra is later found by Nolan Walsh played by Bruce Greenwood, a horse trainer who's given up his job after a riding accident killed his wife, his daughter Channing played by Hayden Panettiere who wants to be a jockey like her mum when she grows up, although her dad has other ideas for her, she decides to name the zebra Stripes who is voiced by Frankie Muniz. Stripes then grows up and as he lives near race...

Marymoose touches a zebra!

Advantages: Wide selection of animals, fun to be had!
Disadvantages: Some animals didn't seem to have enough space, quite expensive

...entertaining to watch! And then there was the Asian Fishing Cat, apparently the best swimmer of all cats. Monkey House ? there?s a nice selection of cute little monkeys including the Cappuchin and Squirrel Monkeys, and Geoffroy?s Marmoset (I always think this is a funny name) ? unfortunately since they?re behind glass, it?s difficult to get a decent picture of them. Mandrill ? Moving onto the largest of monkeys, there is Charlie the Mandrill (you can read more about him on the website) and his family. Unfortunately he wasn?t coming out to play anywhere near us, so we could only see his rear end at a distance! Zebra ? this was the highlight of my day, and prompted a new Facebook status ? ?touched a zebra?, as I stuck my hand through the fence to touch it (the zebra didn?t seem to object). Funny how close up zebras are...

Review of Trotters World of Animals, Keswick

It's not Cute & It most Certianly isn't Fun!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: A huge plastic lump of £50

...Fisher Price Bounce and Spin Zebra..... I have to admit I am a bit of an impulse buyer and this Bounce and Spin Zebra was one item that was certainly an impulse buy. A few days before buying this I was admiring a small furry rocking horse in Woolworth's for £29.99p which came with a cute little Cowboy hat and the horse's mouth moved to a cute little song. I really wanted it for Jack but decided against it. So anyway a few days later the impulse hit and I bought this plastic ugly looking thing in the cute furry horses place!!! The Fisher Price Bounce and Spin Zebra sells for £49.99p in Argos, which is where I purchased it, but I think you could get it cheaper elsewhere. The basic idea of the toy is that a child can sit on the back of the Zebra and ride it like a little horse. The child can then bounce the zebra up and down...

Review of Fisher Price Bounce & Spin Zebra

Zebra Three Is Born!

Advantages: Original premise
Disadvantages: Violent in places

...this opens up a lot of possibilities with regards to stories and characters they meet and come up against. The pair used the call sign Zebra 3, that was usually used by Hutch when on the radio to dispatch while Starsky was driving the legendary Ford Torino. Affectionately known as the striped tomato the car has achieved cult status and is easily recognisable as the vehicle used in the TV show. Acting wise there were two actors, David Soul and Paul Michael Glazier who played the lead roles of Starsky and Hutch respectively, two young actors who had the opportunity to make their part their own and shape the characters. They were very well received by the audiences and will be remembered for the roles they played in the show, something that both actors had a problem getting away from. From the moment you see Starsky and Hutch on screen...

Zebra goes camping in the jungle!

Advantages: Great fun and bright book for children
Disadvantages: None

...Zigby camps out is a lovely bright paperback book which I bought for my boys. The cover of the book is very appealing, it is bright yellow with green and orange leaves around the edge and it has a picture of Zigby with 2 friends. The title is in big black letting at the top. The back cover of the book is also bright yellow and again has a small picture of Zigby and a short paragraph telling us about the book. The first page in the book introduces us to Zigby, he is a zebra who loves being outdoors and getting up to mischief with his friends. He loves going exploring but some times this leads him into trouble. Bertie Bird is an African Guinea foul and he is Zigby's friend. He gets very scared very easily and he thinks his friends are too naughty. He hates missing out on the fun but he does not like getting his feathers dirty...

Lions, Zebras and Giraffes In Suffolk!!!

Advantages: A great day out for all the family
Disadvantages: Can be a bit tiring.

.... ***What Attractions Are There*** The Plains The Plain's, this is where animals walk freely amongst each other as they would in the wild. You would expect to see Rhinos, Giraffes, Zebra and Ostriches. This is by far the largest enclosure and can be found in the middle of the park. Big Cat Kingdom This is where the big Lions are housed. It is basically a round caged off enclosure that houses three female Lions and one Male Lion. The male lion is still quite a young one and has not developed it full mane as yet. The enclosure has recently had a balcony attached to it, so you can view them from above and seems to be attracting quite a crowd. Monsoon Basin This is situated in the boggy part situated in the far end of the park. You would be likely to see such animals as Deer, Cattle, Water Buffalo. This part of the path is very...
