greens, hot pinks and glittery golds. A giant antique map decorates the two walls that meet in the middle to close off the scene at mid-stage. In Cleopatra?s seductive aria for the instantly charmed Cesare, ?V'adoro pupille?, the stage is cast in blue shadows, and little white lights on the floor meld seamlessly with the glowing, moonlit, night-sky in the distance. Egypt?s port of Alexandria is represented in the distance by perpetually rotating wave machines that take on the colours of sky above it, which can be of ominous grey clouds of storm or battle, or summery cerulean blue. Seacraft from various historical periods and of assorted makes -- from fully masted wooden ships to World War II destroyers -- sail gently upon the waves, and by the end of the Act Three, transatlantic ocean liners and blimps now dominate the scene.

Advantages: Good as a travel system Disadvantages: Not great as a pushchair
~*~*~INTRODUCTION~*~*~
My husband and I had been married a month when we found out I was expecting. We were over the moon but realised it didn't really give us chance to save. We decided early that we would opt for a travel system as it would save buying a car seat and a pram.
We looked around Mothercare and Babies'r'us at all the different options, the prices still seemed quite high so we looked at the old faithful, the Argos catalogue. We saw the Mamas and Papas Aria, it came as a pushchair on its own for £99.99, or along with the Primo Viaggio and Mamas and Papas accessories for £129.99. We decided to go for it as a package, again saving money.

Advantages: Very interesting insight into how your dogs mind works Disadvantages: Not many actual methods of training described in the book
When I first started watching Cesar Millan?s Dog Whisperer program on the National Geographic channel I became a bit obsessed with the program. I recorded every episode on my Sky+ Box and have now seen them all. So I am a big fan.
As soon as this book arrived in the post I started to read it that very night. I couldn?t put it down!! Such a great read. It probably helped that I am a big fan of Cesar anyway. But it does give you a great insight into how your dog sees the world and you.
This is a `Dog Psychology? book, looking at how your dog actually sees the world. Whereas a `Dog Training? book? would look more at teaching your dog commands. Both have there place.
