I think that Julius Zebra is a very funny book full of comedy. Another very good thing about it is that it includes a lot history, like how the Britons would fight the Romans in a battlefield. It relates to real life as well because the Romans had the Coliseum to fight in with different gladiators. The book makes you actually feel like you’re the zebra going up to fight against the Britons. My favourite part was when the Romans where on a holiday on a cruise ship and they want to escape, so they come up with a master plan of dressing up like fish and diving into the ocean. This overall was a really great book it was full of emotions and really was a great book. I can’t recommend this book enough, and in fact the entire series. I have definitely become a fan of Julius Zebra and can’t wait for every adventure he goes on. It’s a wonderfully funny book which plenty of kids will love, but it’s also a bit educational too. I also think a fair few adults will enjoy this story too. Julius Zebra: Rumble with the Romans! is the first book in the Julius Zebra series by Gary Northfield. Zebra Julius je vskutku veľmi milá detská kniha. Dej knihy je veľmi nápaditý, zvieratká časťami trošku tupé, ale napriek tomu príjemné charaktery. Často sa dostávali do rôznych vtipných situácii a hoci boli také polepetká, boli aj veľmi odvážne a najmä milé. I had fun reading this book. My favourite character was the zebra- the things he said were just so funny. ‘Yay! We’re going on holibobs.’ I really enjoyed the book and it made me laugh out loud on many an occasion, however, I feel that the laughs and jokes got in the way of the history. When I try to remember the story, all I remember are the fun and jokes not anything historical. I loved the book because it was funny.

What they don't realise is they have been kidnapped and are being taken to Rome by soldiers to fight great battles with gladiators in the world's deadliest theatre, the Colosseum!I was laughing out loud every time when Julius was brutally honest (talk about zebras who speak before they think).😃😃😃 Julius Zebra is a very funny book which shows how a group of animals go from being washed up on the shore to being worshipped in a temple. I greatly enjoyed it and my favourite character was Julius' brother, Brutus, because he wouldn't go anywhere without his wig of seaweed! My favourite part is where Lucia tries chainmail to look somewhat like fish scales, because they’re shiny and reflect the water. An excellent disguise! When Septimus spots that there just disguises, he captured them and made them his slaves. The word level and illustrations were just right. I liked Chapter 21 best because it's really funny because they dress up as mummies. I didn't like chapter 23 because it's so small! I would highly recommend this.

Felix raised a hoof to speak. “How about if we paint faces on them? That might make it a bit easier to pretend they’re people.” I particularly liked the character Cornelius. This is because he was brave, kind and helpful and whenever one of the animals in the book needed help or comforting, Cornelius would be there in a jiff!

World's Greatest Heroes (2008-2010) and Max the Mouse [18] (2010–present) — National Geographic Kids In 2013, Walker Books published The Terrible Tales Of The Teenytinysaurs, a collection of never-before published strips. [9] If you want to see how Julius Zebra became pharaoh and learn what the terrible curse was, read the book!

The part that kept my attention was when Julius became head of Britannia because I didn't know what would happen to him next. doesn't like visiting the stinky lake, his annoying big brother or his mum; but most of all he hates to be called a horse!Most of the book had accurate history because the country Britain did used to be spelt as Britannia and I know that was true because I learnt about it in class.

I really enjoyed this book because it was really interesting and creative. I also liked this book because teaches children about the Romans and how they lived in Roman times. I really liked studying about Romans and other parts of history and this book made me want to learn even more. Welcome to the world of Julius Zebra. He is a cranky teenage zebra heading for the waterhole with his mom and friends, just like all of us, when out the blue a lion comes and shouts for all to head for the hills due to an unknown threat. As it turns out the threat is a Roman battalion collecting animals to provide entertainment at gladiator bouts. From there to a cliff-hanging end of the book, Julius and his friends do their best to please Emperor Hadrian and survive run-ins with the gladiators. You may have already met Julius Zebra from previous books. He was a gladiator champion and rebel of the Roman empire. He made sure the Romans left Britainia and freed animals gladiators from amphitheatres across Europe. The main character is Julius. Here is some information about him he: likes porridge, gets on well with a lion and he is a champion gladiator and clever. This is what some of the other people in the book think of him: he hates the stinky lake, a bit of a loser, probably got eaten by a lion and stupid. Julius Zebra is a soldier.Stay tuned for the next book in the series… I can't wait to find out what happens to Julius, the not-so-boring zebra! I found parts of this book hard to follow so I think it could be for 10 years and over. It was funny in places but may be it wasn't my sense of humour. I liked the part about Brutus when he got seaweed as a wig. There were some interesting characters but really too many of them. Look, over here!” shouted Cornelius. “We could use this pot of paint they’re whitewashing the walls with!” Completely ridiculous plot line and zany characters are highly entertaining and somehow manage to combine daft antics with historical facts. Great! WRD
