Albert Le Blanc,
Written & illustrated By Nick Butterworth,
VERY GOOD~LARGE~P/B
An uplifting story about a bear without a smile from the bestselling creator of Percy the Park Keeper.
When Albert le Blanc arrives in Mr Jolly's toy shop, the other toys think he's the saddest-looking bear they have ever seen.
They decide to put on a show to cheer him up. Albert tries to tell them he's not sad, he just looks sad, but they are all
too busy making preparations… As a finale, Sally the hippo puts on a lipstick and performs ballet, but she falls on top of
Albert and leaves a huge lipstick grin on his face. Everyone laughs…
especially Albert!
