The Stories Julian Tells - Paperback

by Ann Cameron (Author), Ann Strugnell (Illustrator)

Ann Cameron's beloved and bestselling chapter book series about Julian, his brother Huey, and his friend Gloria all begins right here!

Julian has a big imagination. And he is great at telling stories. He can make people--especially his younger brother, Huey--believe just about anything. Like the story about the cats that come in the mail. Or the fig leaves that make you grow tall if you eat them off the tree. But some stories can lead to a heap of trouble, and that's exactly where Julian and Huey end up!

This book has been selected as a Common Core State Standards Text Exemplar (Grades 2-3, Stories) in Appendix B.

But some stories can lead to a heap of trouble, and that's exactly where Julian and Huey end up all too often!
