Enter our Name A Character competition!
Posted on 23/03/2018 in Alan Dapre Porridge the Tartan Cat
In Porridge the Tartan Cat and the Pet Show Show-Off, our favourite cat meets an array of animals competing to win the Best Pet Prize! One of Porridge’s new furry friends is a super-slow sloth, who sets off around the obstacle course at “zero miles per hour”. But what is the sloth called? We’re giving you the chance to choose! Enter our Name A Character competition to tell us the perfect name.
Basil the elephant popped out like a cork! Followed by a stork. And almost every animal you can think of (except a slow sloth who was still at the start of the race)!
Remember to send us your entries by Monday 30th April.
We’ll announce a shortlist of names on Tuesday 1st May. Then, we’ll announce the overall winner of our Name A Character competition on Monday 21st May.
We’ll include the lucky winner’s suggested name in Porridge the Tartan Cat and the Pet Show Show-Off. They’ll also win an art print of our super-slow sloth AND a full set of the Porridge the Tartan Cat series. That’s SIX a-MEOW-zing books.
Our shortlisted runners-up will win a copy of the brand new Porridge the Tartan Cat and the Pet-Show Show Off.
So, what are you waiting for? Get thinking of a name for our sloth, and enter our Name A Character competition to win!
