HELLO and welcome to the latest news from ALBERT the tortoise HQ and our good friends Hugg ‘n’ Bugg.
So much going on.. we have been a bit delayed in this update. But lots to share.
You know we love to hear about and to see our books out and about…
We certainly like to see the Korean versions of our books ALBERT UPSIDE DOWN and ALBERT AND THE WIND at book events in South Korea. Thanks to our publisher there sumjib for these images from the latest events to feature the Korean translations of the books.
A bit closer to home we were pleased to gift books to the Norfolk Tortoise Club for their event with the European Turtle Alliance – helping to raise funds for new equipment. Thanks to those who supported.
Thanks also – of course – for all the support YOU show us with your amazing Book Reviews… Like this new Review for ALBERT IN THE AIR. With a headline of ALBERT IS AMAZING – we love it.
We’re pleaed to say some lovely Reviews are also landing for our new book – ALBERT AND CHRISTMAS.
We love this from book blogger Bookread2day …
We also love this 5* feedback .. calling ALBERT AND CHRISTMAS – LOVELY, ADORABLE + BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED.

Promotion of our ALBERT AND CHRISTMAS book continues… After amazing Interviews on BBC Wales, BBC Radio Cornwall, BBC Essex, Three Counties (Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire), Norfolk, Suffolk and BBC London… we were delighted to catch up with Adam Dowling at BBC Kent, Sussex & Surrey.
We were delighted to mention upcoming school visits based around the new book – teamed with Blue Bear Bookshop in Hartley Wintney.. to visit schools around Hook, Farnham and around.
We are also set to visit a lot of schools in Wales in coming weeks.
A recent visit saw us return to the children’s unit at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex for a storytime. We also gifted a couple of ALBERT AND CHRISTMAS books ot the unit.

Of course we continue to shout about our new ALBERT book ALBERT AND CHRISTMAS…
BUT please do remember our friends Hugg ‘n’ Bugg – the hairy snowman and the flea who have 4 comical, rhyming picturebook adventures set in the snowy Himalayas… tales of friendship and teamwork and kindness.. which also sit well with the Christmas period. They have their own shop on this website.
Lots of touring and events upcoming… in bookshops, schools and all over.
