We have been making headlines once more.. This time in Preneur Magazine.. with a smashing review for Albert picturebook ALBERT AND THE FLOOD. The book is one of their Picks for Spring and they Praised it with words like Delightful, Lovable.. and they say Parents will admire the positive message. We are always most grateful for such Praise.
Preneur Magazine was also full of Praise for our friends Hugg ‘n’ Bugg and their new picturebook THE RACE.. They called it Charming, Delightful and said Partents would cherish its uplifting mesage while childlren will revel in its playful storytelling. We are very grateful for all reviews.
There was more Praise too for THE RACE on the US animated ebook version. Five stars and praise such as Colourful and Detailed… We are always grateful for the Reviews you post. Please keep doing it.
There were more amazing Reviews too… For ALBERT picturebook ALBERT AND THE THIEF… Again 5 stars – calling the book a Joyful romp that lends itself to the classroom… We are most grateful. Please do keep posting YOUR Reviews.
We were delighted to take our ALBERT and Hugg ‘n’ Bugg stories to Waterstones bookshop in Brentwood, Essex for a storytime event. Great fun. Supersize thanks to everyone who came along, the ace booksellers and all involved.
We love it when you share sightings of our books.. and an eagle-eyed reader spotted a selection on the shelf at Waterstones bookshop in the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent. Keep sharing if you spot us!
