Published by Julian Publishing. Gideon & Milo storybooks are written by Lester C. Lacey.
Print & Play
Use a bookmark to save a page, a question or a picture you want to revisit. A plain strip of paper is enough: write or draw one prompt on its back before closing the book. Try it with Gideon & Milo, the children’s stories about a boy and his Yorkshire terrier.
At a glance: Choose a bookmark that is easy to spot and comfortable to use. Try writing one question on its back or using it to mark a page you want to read again. The Gideon & Milo bookmarks page is the place to find the brand’s printable designs.
Give your bookmark a job
A bookmark can save your place, mark a picture you want to see again, or remind you of a question. Choose one job for today’s reading. A small drawing on the back can help a younger reader remember it.
Explore the printable designs
The Gideon & Milo bookmarks page brings the brand into your reading routine. Open the resource and use print preview to check the page before printing. An adult should handle any cutting.
Make a paper version
You can also use a plain strip of paper. Add a color or a drawing, then finish the sentence “Next time, I want to…” on the back. There is no need to buy special supplies.
Begin the next reading
Open the book where the bookmark rests. Share the saved question or revisit the picture. For another starting prompt, use the Parent Read-Aloud Guide.

Three prompts for the back of a bookmark
- “Next time, I want to look again at…”
- “One thing I am wondering is…”
- “Can we read this part together again?”
For Gideon, Milo, and the Great Shadow by Lester C. Lacey, choose a real picture or passage you have read. Keep a new story you invent separate from what the book actually says.
Do I need a printer?
No. Fold a sheet of paper into a strip or reuse clean card. Add a drawing, a word or a small question, and keep it thin enough to rest comfortably between the pages.
What if the reader does not write yet?
Invite a drawing or let an adult write the reader’s words. The bookmark belongs to the reader, so ask before adding a label or sharing it.
