Synopsis

Meet Albie – a small boy in a weird, wild world. Albie is a six year old boy whose imagination turns his surroundings into wild fantasy and he sees peculiar creatures everywhere. Why does no one else notice them? It’s a mystery to Albie.

It seems like just another ordinary day to Albie until he finds... a hippo in the paddling pool, zebras up the tree and his sister, Mary, on the warpath!

What else could possibly go wrong?

About this title

Review:

Critic’s praise for tv series at British Animation Awards:
"...an original, witty and charming route into a child's imagination"

From the Author:

If anyone that has met me notices a resemblance to Albie, then it's hardly surprising; Albie is me when I was six! My grandfather was an explorer in Africa in the 1920's, and all I knew of him was his photographs of elephants and water buffalo. Not quite grasping the 'Africa' bit, and presuming that all these animals were his pals, I went about trying to find zebras (even the tree climbing kind!) in my back garden. And I found them too, but no one believed me. So this is my account of what happened, with my name changed to Albie just so I don't seem so bonkers! I hope you enjoy the book.
