He may be ‘The Man Who Can Explain Everything’ but from Albie’s perspective he’s never around to explain anything. Here, at the Imagining History homestead, the stories of children's author Caryl Hart are a mega-hit.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! I like to focus on what it was like to live and play in those times, what people ate, what they did in their spare time, what they were afraid of and what they looked forward to. Join Albie as he makes intergalactic friends, enjoys space-ghetti at the school canteen and rides on space scooters - school has never been so much fun! The Many Worlds of Albie Bright does much for the subject of science – showing it off as a sparkling subject full of curiosity, investigation, and ‘trying to do the impossible. With adventure around every corner, and core values of friendship, kindness and imaginative play, the Albie stories make great bedtime stories and support early years education too!

When you look at history in this way, you realise that the people from thousands of years ago were really just like us. Albie’s dad consoles himself by letting his work consume him, but not before answering one of Albie’s questions with an answer that sets him on a path that spirals quickly out of control … into parallel words. Was your own childhood similar to Albie's - did you use your imagination to transform boring tasks when you were young yourself and then when your own children were little?I was lucky enough to once visit a cave in France that had some genuine prehistoric cave art and this spread reminds me of that special time.
