Thanks so much! My son really wanted this is as he loved the first book and he likes this one just as much so far (he's read 50 pages in one go!)

Arrived today. Looking forward to reading it with my nephew. He really enjoyed the first book.

Great fun book for children. I love all the facts at the back of the book. My godson is going to love this!

A brilliantly illustrated book and a fun way to learn about the Romans. My daughter is enjoying this book. Thanks for sending it to us.

Thanks for the book, my son loved it and so did I!!!! The illustrations are great and the cover lovely and colourful. Absolutely hilarious, I was giggling like an 8 year old!!!

Thank you for the book. We started reading it tonight. Definitely see the similarities with Madagascar. Eight year old enjoying it so far. A good intro to the Romans. Will post again when have finished it.

Thank you for this brilliant book. We have been reading a chapter together after school. My 6 year old son thinks it is hilarious. The comic illustrations fit the story perfectly. Excellent introduction to the Roman period. I have already purchased Rumble with the Romans.

Really nice surprise when it arrived. Great illustrations and an interesting story.

This looks fantastic- really engaging, with many illustrations and a comic like feel. Can't wait to read this to my DDs

We haven't finished the book yet but so far love the story, especially how the illustrations are part of the story and not just decorative, a nice touch. Will post again when we're done :)

The book was ideal for my history-addict son. He loves the characters and humour in it and the clever illustrations add more of a sense of reality. Thank you for the book.

My daughter (age 8), started reading this the other day, but said it was boring so hasn't touched it since. I think we will revisit it together.

My son and I have really enjoyed reading this book, haven't read any before so it was great to discover it. Great fun and beautifully illustrated.

Thank you for our copy of Julius Zebra: Bundle with the Britons. My ten year old son read this book and found it very funny. He is quite an advanced reader and said he thought that readers aged 5+ would enjoy this book. He liked the way the humans spoke to the animals and how they made Julius Cesar into Julius Zebra. He thought it was quite silly and this appealed to his sense of humour. He thinks this book could be read to younger children as a bedtime story. The characters were described in detail and he said he could picture them clearly in his mind. He would recommend this book to his friends.

Hi, we won a copy of this and my daughter and I have enjoyed reading this at bed time. She is history mad. What a great read

Thank you very much for this funny and interesting book. My 2 are enjoying it and so am I 😄

I think Julius Zebra Bundle with the Britons was a very good book. The author was Gary Northfield. The book was about a gladiator zebra called Julius and his friends, Cornelius the warthog, Felix the antelope, Lucia the crocodile, Rufus the giraffe, and Milus the lion. Emperor Hadrian sent Julius, Cornelius, Felix, Lucia, Rufus, and Milus off to Britannia to fight. At first Julius thought they were going on their ‘holibobs’ but when they realised they were furious! I would recommend this book to people who are adventurous and are interested in history. I like it how Gary makes up funny word like holibobs. My favourite part of the book is when Julius and his friends dress up to go on holiday and Septimus their trainer is furious! I won this book to review. Pippa (8yo)

My DD(8) has just finished it and her review is: Julius Zebra is a good book. I think it should be age 6 to 7. I think if you want to learn great English it is not a good book. Out of 5 it is 2. But is is full of humer (sic).

I had a a quick flick and the English looked ok to me... Varied vocabulary I thought - sauntered etc. I think it has just not captured her imagination in the same way as some other authors. She is currently reading a lot of Jacqueline Wilson and Enid Blyton. She also loves rereading the Wimpy Kid books and enjoyed reading Watership Down so maybe just not her thing...so will pass on to my DS for when he is older.

We won this copy for which many thanks.

My friend's son loves zebras and history and he had a copy when I visited so I asked him about it and - he said "it was funny and I liked that the Romans were in Britain".

I won this book to review. Although my son isn't old enough for it yet, I've had chance to have a look through it and think it could be something he would enjoy in the future. My husband and I both remember enjoying Roman history as children and the characters and humour make it engaging. I liked the way it was based on a zebra due to the play on words and the appeal of animals making it relatable.

My daughter who is 6 loved me reading this to her. She enjoyed the characters and because it was written in such a way was able to remember a lot of detail. I would def recommend this as a book for learning about history.
