'Hilarious... addictive' Guardian
'Had me laughing out loud from the very first page' Emily-Jane Clark, author of The Beasts of Knobbly Bottom
From the bestselling author of the Big Bright Feelings picture book series
Squirrel and Duck might seem strange housemates but they are drawn together by their secret - they are the only two talking animals in the world! When bulldozers arrive to redevelop the abandoned theme park they call home, they run away, taking with them only Mr Spikes, Duck's beloved 'pet' cactus.
When they hear a conversation between two nincompoop art thieves they end up on the trail of untold riches (according to Squirrel) or a great deed to help the nation (as far as Duck's concerned)! Only some surprisingly unhelpful woodland creatures stand in their way! Readers will love this zanily brilliant story, full of unlikely scenarios and laugh-out-loud moments.
Don't miss book 2, Squirrel and Duck: Invasion of the Doggy-Snatchers.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Irritable Squirrel and jolly, sanguine Duck live together in an abandoned fibreglass tree - until their home is destroyed and they're drawn into a saga of stolen paintings and helicopter heists in their quest for a new one. A hilarious, highly illustrated beginning to an addictive new 6+ series. -- Imogen Russell Williams * Guardian * Hilarious, off-the-wall and great fun -- Natasha Harding * Sun * Enough jeopardy, action and pace in the story to engage young readers throughout * Books for Keeps * I just LOVE Squirrel and Duck! They are absolutely NUTS and won't stop arguing - even when they're trying to save their secret hideout. Mission Improbable had me laughting out laud from the very first page! -- Emily-Jane Clark, author of The Beasts of Knobbly Bottom
