Aalfred and Aalbert

A heartwarming tale of two aardvarks finding love in the most unexpected way - perfect for Valentine's Day or any day you want to celebrate the beauty of friendship and love!
Aalfred and Aalbert are two lonely aardvarks in need of a pal. But with Aalfred sleeping during the day and Aalbert at night, it seems impossible for them to ever meet. Bird, determined to help, devises increasingly silly schemes to bring the two together. Yet despite Bird's best efforts, Aalfred and Aalbert's paths just can't seem to cross.
Until one fateful day, when a twist of fate finally brings them together in the most unexpected way - and now, nothing will ever separate these two aardvarks again!
Filled with Morag Hood's signature humour and memorable characters, Aalfred and Aalbert is a delightful picture book that celebrates love, friendship, and the joys of finding your perfect match. Fans of Hood's other charming tales like Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea, and The Steves will adore this sweet and funny story of two animal friends destined for each other.

Morag Hood has a unique voice. Her idiosyncratic, wry humour permeates everything she does, creating books of style and irresistible charm. Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea was a runner-up in The Macmillan Prize for Illustration, marking a glorious picture book debut. Morag spent her childhood writing stories, painting, and dreaming of having a pet duck. Following a degree in Costume Design from Wimbledon College of Art, and an MA in Children's Book Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art, Morag returned to live in her native Edinburgh with her husband. She still likes making stories, printing, cutting and sticking, and freshly sharpened pencils. Her self-authored books include Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea, When Grandad was a Penguin, I Am Bat, The Steves and Aalfred and Aalbert, and she is also the author of Sophie Johnson: Unicorn Expert, illustrated by Ella Okstad. The pet duck is yet to make an appearance.
