Porridge the Tartan Cat and the Bash-Crash-Ding by Alan Dapr

Porridge the Tartan Cat and the Bash-Crash-Ding by Alan Dapr

Porridge the Tartan Cat (it's a long story involving a tin of tartan paint!) has been framed! Someone is sabotaging Isla and Ross' attempts to reunite Groovy Gran's band and Porridge is the top suspect. Can he clear his name?

'Frequent line illustrations reminiscent of Quentin Blake enrich the story's zippy pace and comedic effect.. Readers will enjoy the surprise endings, unusual characters, and absurd humor. [...] these books work wonderfully as silly read alouds.'
-- School Library Journal

'Hysterical [...] There are some brilliant pictures in them too. My 8-year-old loves reading them himself, and they'd be fab to read to a child too.'
-- Library Loves podcast

'This is a fun, nonsensical story... It gets sillier the further you go but it's a fun read.'
-- The Book Faerie, (US blogger)

'... very appealing to second and third graders mastering reading.'
-- Youth Services Book Review

'I liked that this story was very funny and suspenseful... I love how the pictures help tell the story and make it even funnier!'
-- Elena, Age 9, Kids' Book Buzz
