Hello and welcome to the very latest NEWS from ALBERT the tortoise HQ and our good friends Hugg ‘n’ Bugg.
Lots and lots going on…
We were delighted this week to send off our bundle of ALBERT and Hugg ‘n’ Bugg goodies to the highest bidder in the Children in Read auction, raising money for the BBC Children In Need appeal.
Signed books plus stickers and bookmarks headed to Truro in Cornwall. Happy reading!
To our delight, amazing Reviews for our ALBERT Board Book ALBERT 123 have started to land from Book Bloggers. We are most grateful and thrilled to see such wonderful Praise.
Book-Read-2Day said GREAT IDEA, MOST ENJOYABLE, PERFECT CHILDREN’S BOOK… How brilliant! Thank you.
Then, It’s All About Stories said MORE THAN A COUNTING BOOK… We are most grateful.
Then Red Reading Hub said.. FUN, EDUCATIVE… We are delighted. Thank you.
The third of our Board Books has also landed with book blogger Katy’s-Book-Shelf… We await their Review…
Now there are 12 ALBERT books out… the TORTY DOZEN possibly… We wanted to show them altogether for the first time.. So this brilliant graphic was made up.. showing all the covers of our 8 ALBERT picturebooks, 3 Board Books and Activity Book.. all inspired by real Albert who has, of course, also posed with them all and inspected them. We are super proud of this image and of all these books. To see the covers all together is amazing. Thank you to all for the support you have shown us.
It seems we are racing towards Christmas and the Holidays.. we have already taken part in one Early Festive shopping event at our local indie bookshop Jo’s Bookshop in Chingford…
Next we are off to Waterstone’s bookshop in Romford, Essex for their early Christmas Shopping Evening at their store in The Libery mall in Romford… SATURDAY NOVEMBER 30 from 4pm we will be there with ALBERT and Hugg ‘n’ Bugg books plus there are mince pies .. and we will be signing books and adding personalised greetings if wanted and we will be handing out giveaways like stickers, bookmarks and colouring sheets.
We keep telling you there is a lot going on…
Amazingly.. we have even more MASSIVE news coming soon and we cannot wait to share. Sorry to tease.. but as soon as we are permitted to say more, we will.
Thank you again.. Til next time…
