HELLO – welcome to the very latest news and updates from ALBERT the tortoise HQ with our good friends Hugg ‘n’ Bugg.
As ever, despite it being holiday season in the UK… Loads going on.
First of all.. we were thrilled to pop by our friends at Waterstone’s bookshop in Bluewater shopping mall in Kent to sign a few ALBERT and Hugg ‘n’ Bugg books.
Supersize thanks to the booksellers for their support.
We got a little creative with our ALBERT T shirts .. as it has been so hot in so many places recently. Some posing for real Albert with one of our designs.. ONE OF THOSE DAYS.. Of course, Albert styled the shoot himself..
Our T shirts come in 2 designs and a range of sizes and styles. We also do Tote bags. You can find them on our shop page at our Albert website.
LISTEN UP… Our ALBERT picturebooks can now be found on Audible for Audio Books. Narrated by author Ian Brown they have their own special page here on our website.. or find them on Audible and via our Amazon links. EIGHT picturebooks featuring ALBERT and his garden chums to enjoy. We hope you will.
As well as a new piece of art for our Audio Books, we have a fab new piece of graphic art to show ALL our picturebooks for Albert… including our firs tever Festive picturebook ALBERT AND CHRISTMAS.
The new book officially publishes in October.. BUT copies are landing already with people who have placed orders. It is super thrilling.
Our copies arrived at ALBERT HQ… which meant photo shoot time!
Once again… Albert styled the shoot. .. Although we were posing for a Festive book… it was probably right that we were doing it in 26C as the story is set in summer. It’s all about friendship, helping those that don’t normally celebrate to enjoy the fun of the holidays and Christmas .. and about how absence can make the heart grow fonder… You can Order Now to secure your copy.
Of course, the arrival of a new book also meant a line-up of all the books real Albert has inspired… It is getting quite amazing now…
There are 9 picturebooks, 3 board books and an activity book.
Believe it or not we will be bringing you at least 2 more board books and 3 more picturebooks…
We say a massive thank you to everyone who supports us to make all this possible.
As you might imagine there is loads of publicity for the new book to come. To say the least, Christmas is a tricky market if you’re not able to get yourself on TV talk shows.
So, please do share pictures of your books.. with you or just the book… or with your tortoises and turtles and please do post Reviews. Thank you…
As said, early copies of the new book are landing and two very excited recipients were tortoises… who then proceeded to give the book rave Reviews…
They call ALBERT AND CHRISTMAS … BRILLIANT and FAVOURITE SO FAR… We like to receive Praise and comments like that. Thanks to Tiny Tommy and Herman.
And Thanks again to all for supporting all things ALBERT and Hugg ‘n’ Bugg.
More news soon.. Til next time.
