The Toto series, crafted by one of the UK's most beloved broadcasters, has been specially designed to captivate fans of beloved franchises such as The Aristocats, The Secret Life of Pets, and Atticus Claw Breaks the Law. Dermot, the author, shares the inspiration behind Toto's tale:

"The idea for Toto first came to me when my wife and I rescued two stray cats from an olive grove in Italy. One of them, Toto, has been blind from birth, but we quickly realized she had ninja-like reactions. Like many cat owners (or cat servants), we like to imagine our pets having secret lives when we're out or asleep. So before I knew it, I was writing about Toto and her brother Silver's nocturnal adventures around London. I truly hope that children who pick it up will enjoy the story and be inspired to imagine their own pets having thrilling adventures of their own."

With its captivating narrative, endearing characters, and vibrant illustrations, the Toto series promises to transport readers to a world of excitement and adventure, where even the most ordinary pets can embark on extraordinary journeys.
