Julian's Glorious Summer

BOOK NAME: Julian's Glorious Summer
AUTHOR: Ann Cameron

Julian's Glorious Summer book coverThis book is about two friends, Julian and Gloria. I think they are both 7 years old. It takes place in the summer, which is a really good time to read about when it's cold outside.

In the book, Gloria gets a new bike and learns how to do tricks. Julian wants to show off and do cool stuff too, but he doesn't have a bike and he doesn't know how to ride one. So he looks for jobs and other things to do during the summer while telling everyone he doesn't like bikes. He is almost mad when his dad finally gets him a bike and Julian then tells his mom that he doesn't like bikes because he's afraid of falling down. But Gloria helped teach him how to ride his bike and to do tricks so they both have fun in the end. Julian just had to try to learn.

I liked this book because it's about riding bikes, which is something I like to do. It can be hard to learn how to ride a bike for the first time without training wheels. This book also is about having fun in the summer, which is also something I like.

That would be cool. I want a bike, too.

Hey Parker, if you like bikes, I have a race bike (yes, I'm a girl!)!

bikes...i have one, but i'm scared of it. balancing ain't my forte. weell, atcherly, i can balance, buut i'm a fraidy cat. strangely, i wish i had a skateboard. ooh by the way i think i read one of these. something to do with tying wishes to kites?

Sounds like a sweet book for friends.

I get to get a new bike next week cause the one I have now is too small for me.
PS. I'll race you.

My sister is learning to react [I'm sooo exited) so maybe she would like this
Happy reading bye! :)
