HELLO – welcome to the very latest news from ALBERT the tortoise HQ (and our chums Hugg ‘n’ Bugg – the messy yeti and the mou8ntain flea) …
Lots going on..
You know we love to receive YOUR pictures of Albert goodies .. so we were delighted to be sent this amazing picture of another tortoise – Apollo – enjoying TWO new Albert books.. ALBERT SUPERSIZE and ALBERT IN THE AIR. Nice one Apollo… and nice posing.
We’re busy going Half Term storytimes at bookshops all over the place…
We had a great time at Waterstone’s bookshop in St Albans, Hertfordshire.. a grand turn out and BIG thanks to all the staff in the store for all their continued support.
The shop in St Albans is one of regular haunts.. as is local bookshop Jo’s Bookshop in Chingford.. and we were back there to sing a fresh stack of ALBERT picturebooks and Hugg ‘n’ Bugg picturebooks. Thanks as always to Jo and the team. Oh, we did some posing too.
Publicity is all when we bring out a new book.. so we’ve been pestering radio stations once more..
Big thanks to all at BBC Radio Shropshire for a grand chat..
More thanks to Sean Styles and team at BBC Radio Merseyside for a top chat.
Tying in to our next bookshop visits – chats also with Emma Gill at BBC Radio Cornwall to shout out our visit to Waterstone’s bookshop in Truro on Saturday October 29 …
And to Eliza Phillipidis at BBC Radio Kent – as we’re at Waterstone’s Orpington on Wednesday October 26.
The countdown is on for the start of a new series of books frok writer, wrangler bloke Ian Brown and illustrator Eoin Clarke.. Thursday October 27 is official paperback publication day for Hugg ‘n’ Bugg FINDING HOME about a messy yeti and a mountain flea in the Himalayas who team up and help each other. A copy of the book is now on the way to Everest Base Camp – in the Himalayas – as part of a sponsored trek for Bookmark Reading Charity (much more on that as it unfolds)
Sadly our time in the window of our local library is coming to an end.. BIG thanks to all at the library and the local volunteers who help promote it. We hope people liked our display …
