HELLO – Well, it had to come really.. With all the attention growing around real and illustrated picturebook Albert, the National UK red top tabloids came calling…
Albert got a shout-out in The Daily Star on Sunday. It can only be a matter of time before the likes of I’m A Celbrity Get Me Out of Here and Love Island come calling for this celebrity tortoise.
Hopefully it won’t ALL go to Albert’s head. But he is getting a lot of attention these days. And it’s all tortally exciting.
WE’D LOVE TO GET EVEN MORE COVERAGE.. We think there might be a story in an 80 year old tortoise (called Albert) taking on the likes of Love Island, Kelly Brooke, Peter Andre and that other octogenarian celeb Sir Cliff Richard in the 2022 pin-up calendar wars!
There might also be a story in HOW REAL ALBERT WAS RESCUED … HOW THE PICTUREBOOKS ARE ABOUT KINDNESS, TEAMWORK AND HELPING OTHERS…
Some might even be interested in the TV and other work of writer Ian Brown and illustrator Eoin Clarke…
IF YOU WANT TO INTERVIEW OR DO A PIECE ON ANYTHING RELATING TO ALBERT, PLEASE DO GET IN TOUCH.. BLOGGERS, VLOGGERS, JOURNALISTS, PRESENTERS, PODCASTERS…
Loads more going on here … We did a GREAT interview with LINDA McDERMOTT for BBC Merseyside, BBC Lancashire and BBC Manchester on Bonfire Night. Luckily we were heard over the fireworks and it was a most generous interview with our writer bloke. Thanks to Linda!!
More radio occurring soon.. We’ve also been lined up to do more readings of the Albert books and to talk about real Albert.
We will keep you updated right here. Til next time…
