Even though Julian, the young star of The Stories Julian Tells, is older by a couple of years now, he still has plenty of great stories left in him. Like the one about the day Julian's father claimed it was so hot that even frogs would wear shoes-and he was right! Or the time that his best friend Gloria proved she really did have the power to move the sun, and (finally!) won a bet with Julian. Sometimes, though, Julian's way with words can backfire. At least that's what happens when he calls his brother Huey a name-and their father overhears. How come his mouth gets him into so much trouble, when he hates trouble so much? And when will he ever learn to talk his way out of it?
