Albie

Product Information

This charming and imaginative story is set against a backdrop of 16 beautifully intricate watercolor illustrations by award winning artist Milanka Reardon that help bring the story to life. Robustly printed on thick card with rounded edges, this chunky series enables your little ones get fully involved in the story and page turns. Employing a banana, a laptop, a digital Geiger counter and a large cardboard box (and next-door’s feline bruiser Dylan as a test pilot), Albie travels to a series of alternative worlds. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there?

All of this is very deftly handled by Christopher Edge with a light comic touch, everything rooted in a Year 6 environment, Quantum Banana Theory and all. When you look at history in this way, you realise that the people from thousands of years ago were really just like us. They were very child-centric in the way they brought us up, giving us the power to make decisions and encouraging us to challenge ourselves work things out for ourselves. I also love how relaxed and happy Albie is with his new friend and how excited he is to be creating his own story in the wall of her cave! This is an accessible, inclusive delight of an adventure, with a bittersweet centre – that will take readers as far as their curiosity dares them to go.

I love how the Albie books transform everyday events and mundane activities into magnificent escapades. Lots of people claim to have seen aliens but scientists tell us there is no proof that this is true. Delight in dancing swans, fantastical firebirds, sleeping princesses and sugar plum fairies in this timeless and unique collection of four classic stories from the ballet, richly reimagined to inspire and enchant all ages. This charming and imaginative story is set against a backdrop of 14 beautifully intricate watercolor illustrations that help bring the story to life. Albie loves to go swimming, but the pool seems a bit different today – is that a shark in the water?

I was obsessed with Ancient Egypt, and who doesn't love a story that features secret passageways and includes a map?
