The Gruffalo books are among the most popular children's titles in the world and publisher Macmillan says the first two books have sold 18 million copies.
The first book, which was released in 1999, sees a mouse meeting lots of different animals including a fox, a snake and an owl in the deep dark wood, before encountering a giant hairy creature called the Gruffalo.
The second book came out in 2004 and follows the story of the Gruffalo's daughter as she goes on a quest to search for the 'Big Bad Mouse' from her father's stories.
So what would you like to ask Julia? Do you want to know if there will be any new characters? Or perhaps you'd like to ask how long it took to write?
