The Julian Stories
Ann Strugnell
Julian tells six stories about himself, his little brother Huey, his mother and his father --- but especially his father. Full of humour and the amazingness of everyday happenings. The story of how Julian's father makes a pudding that 'tastes like a whole raft of lemons, like a night on the sea' is pure delight. Read it aloud to younger listeners. Simple sentences and large print mean older readers can go-it-alone with confidence. (72 pages)
