classic

this book is so classic, i have to say these older books are so much better than all the PC (politically correct) books being written for kids today. it is simple, sensitive, refreshing and funny. (for example when julius tries to get rid of the fly on his nose by waving his hand the fly says 'thanks for making me cool, its hot in here') all kids will delight in practicing their reading with this book.

Gorilla stories!

Like the other review on this page from Utah, this book was my all time favorite as a kid. Julius the gorilla! As a kid I appreciated the neat pictures. Their colors and the tone I'd feel from them, plus the dialog between Julius and Davy, was always a happy time whenever I spent time with the book. And really, isn't happy just what time with a book should be? The unusual name Julius also drew me into its pages.

Julius

This was one of my favorite books as a child and one of the first I could read by myself. I am expecting my first child and can hardly wait to read it to her. Julius has many great adventures when he leaves the jungle to become a circus star. It keeps kids attention because of the large print and wonderful pictures.
