A great way to encourage a love of books in Greater Brisbane and Gold Coast kids

Helping Julian enthuse young minds with a love for books is Dickens, the well read but very naughty dog. This life size puppet is entrancing. Sure he makes them laugh but he lets the children know that anyone can enjoy what books have to offer. Reading is magic with Dickens as a role model.

• Aladdin and the Genie find the cave full of jewels and colourful silks, but magically making a palace appear, well that proves a bit trickier.

• The little fish - who never does what he is told - wishes he had listened to his mother, when he discovers going into Sidney Shark's cave was not such a good idea. This is a gentle don't go with strangers message

• Some books tell us how to do things and everybody loves making a cake. The children use the big cook book with some hilarious results.

• But the best book of all is the one that Julian has pored over his whole life to become a magician. In fact, anyone who looks into the book WILL become a magician too, as the children soon discover.

Julian uses his magical skills and a lot of laughs (psst! with a lot of help from the children too) to enthuse a love of reading.
