It isn''t easy being Julian''s younger brother.  When Huey has bad dreams, Julian says it''s no big deal.  When Huey orders trout in a restaurant and it comes to the table whole with an eye looking straight up at him, Julian reminds Huey he''d better eat it all.  And when Huey wants to study animal tracks with Julian and his friend Gloria, Julian tells him he''s too young.  But he''s not a little kid.  He''s six years old and he''s an adventurer, a chef, a tracker, a scout--and much more!  Set in large type with wide margins, these five short, funny, and satisfying stories have all the originality and sparkle of the Julian books with a fresh new voice.  From the Hardcover edition.
