In Porridge the Tartan Cat and the Loch Ness Mess, readers are introduced to Porridge, a quirky cat with a colorful backstory involving a tin of tartan paint. Living by Loch Loch with the eccentric McFun family, which includes Gadget Grandad, Groovy Gran, Dino Dad, Mini Mum, and the twins, Isla and Ross, Porridge is always ready to lend a paw when chaos ensues. Each member of the family harbors their own secrets, and Porridge's knack for getting into and out of trouble makes for an engaging read for young audiences.

The adventure takes a wild turn when Dino Dad, while searching for prehistoric bones, is transformed into a dinosaur by a magical wishing bone. Mistaken for the legendary Loch Ness Monster, he finds himself in a predicament with a Nessie-hunter named Fergus McFungus. The twins, along with Porridge, must navigate the challenges of proving that Dino Dad is not Nessie and rescue him from this comical situation.

This whimsical tale is filled with humor, clever wordplay, and vibrant illustrations that bring the story to life. As the characters embark on their dino-tastic journey around Scotland's famous loch, readers will be entertained by the antics of Porridge and the McFun family. Porridge the Tartan Cat and the Loch Ness Mess is a delightful read that promises laughter and adventure on every page.

'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.'
