HELLO and welcome to the very latest news from ALBERT the tortoise HQ – along with our good friends Hugg ‘n’ Bugg.
So. Much. Occurring… As we seem to be hurtling towards Christmas and The Holidays.
Delighted to say our first Christmas Albert picturebook – ALBERT AND CHRISTMAS – is continuing to pick up positive feedback and support.
We were delighted to hear about a dedicated Albert fan called Atlas and how they have enjoyed the new Festive story.
Apparently Atlas ADORES EVERY SINGLE STORY .. and the books have become A SPECIAL PART OF OUR READING TIME… That is lovely to hear. Thank you for letting us know. And thank you for supporting the ALBERT books.
As you may know we are keen supporters of libraries… We gift books to them and take part in many library-based events. So, obviously we were thrilled to spot ALBERT AND CHRISTMAS as a Recommended Christmas Read as suggested by Milton Keynes libraries…
Please support your local libraries. They are ace local assets.
We have been super busy at multiple events recently.. and we were on the road again .. this time to Reading in Berkshire to take part in a special Festive gathering of charity ABC to Read (Assisting Berkshire children to read). We were pleased to gift a set of ALBERT and Hugg ‘n’ Bugg books to the group who put volunteers into schools to help youngsters with their reading skills and confidence. Supersize thanks for inviting us and to everyone involved.
Next, we were closer to home for a couple of events at our very local bookshops.
Firstly, to Jo’s Bookshop in Chingford as part of their Christmas shopping event and Small Business Day. As ever a delight to bring our ALBERT and Hugg ‘n’ Bugg picturebooks storytime to this ace indie bookseller. Thanks to everyone involved.
Then, as part of Highams Park Christmas Fayre, we were pleased to sign books and hand out ALBERT and Hugg ‘n’ Bugg goodies at V and A Books & Gifts.
Thanks to the booksellers and to all who supported.
Please do support YOUR local bookshops if you can. We always urge you to shop there first.. even though our books are all over the place online as well.
Hey – that Festive thing is getting close now.
We might be biased but we think our Christmas Tree decorations win… even outshining Christmas Tree Rex possibly.
A set of ALBERT AND CHRISTMAS books make all the difference, we feel.
More happening as we head to the big days. As ever, we say a huge THANK YOU to everyone for their support.
More news soon. Til next time…
