''Hilarious... addictive'' Guardian

Squirrel and Duck, the world’s only two talking animals, have noticed something: dogs are acting peculiarly everywhere. It’s the first clue to a shocking truth – ALIENS are invading, they’re taking over dogs’ bodies, and ONLY Squirrel and Duck can stop them!

A fully illustrated, laugh-out-loud story that young readers - and their families - will love. Don''t miss the first book in the series, Squirrel and Duck: Mission Improbable.

Tom Percival is the talented and highly acclaimed author of the Big Bright Feelings picture books for younger children.

Review quote:
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.
Review quote:
Hilarious, off-the-wall and great fun
