Hello and welcome to the very latest from ALBERT the tortoise HQ and our good friends Hugg ‘n’ Bugg.
Lots going on…
You know we LOVE to receive pictures from you… and we were delighted to receive this image of a pal of real Albert up close with their copy of ALBERT picturebook ALBERT AND THE POND. They might even be diving in…
We also received a great image from Kentucky in the USA with a copy of ALBERT UPSIDE DOWN. Thanks for sharing. Happy Reading!
We were thrilled to pop into one of our local bookshops – Jo’s Bookshop in Chingford to sign a fresh stack of ALBERT and Hugg ‘n’ Bugg books – including NEW Hugg ‘n’ Bugg picturebook THE RACE ahead of publication day.
THE RACE published on March 12 –
… and we will be back at Jo’s Bookshop in Chingford on Saturday March 29 from 11am to mark publication with Hugg ‘n’ Bugg and ALBERT storytime. Storytelling, yetis, tortoises, dinosaurs and giveaways – plus signed books.
Another bookshop sotrytime event for your diary is for Brentwood in Essex – and for Saturday April 26 from 11am when we will be at Waterstones, Brentwood.
We made a very special storytime visit this week to Phoenix children’s ward at Broomfield hospital in Chelmsford, Essex. The youngsters we met all had their own amazing stories. We wish them all the best – and we say a Supersize thanks to the team at the unit. It was lovely to get a mention from them for our visit. Thanks to everyone involved.
As we mentioned… Hugg ‘n’ Bugg THE RACE was published this week. You can grab a copy from bookshops, online sites and from our Hugg ‘n’ Bugg page on this site.
As ever, big thanks to you for all the support you show us. It is very much appreciated.
More from us soon. Til next time…
