Madagascar 3 Xbox 360 Game Review
Alex the Lion, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo and Marty the Zebra… oh, how we love them all in this house! So I was a le-e-etle bit happy when we were sent a copy of the game to go with the latest film release to try out. Of course, it’s aimed at children 3+ – but where’s the point in letting the youngest have all the fun? So the 11yr old and I threw ourselves into the action first… The game follows...

Brilliant! First up were the 5yr old’s pair of Rocket glasses. I love Rocket – French manufacturer...
Did you see YUU Bag on Dragon’s Den? We TOLD you we loved them!
The year before last we were sent a couple of these new backpacks to try out. My boys swiped them, loved them… and I forgot to write about them (I know, despicable). But last year, as I was packing them for yet another holiday, I got around to telling everyone just how flipping genius the YUU bag is).
