'Hilarious, off-the-wall and great fun' Sun

A story that readers who love to laugh - and their families - will lap up. Don't miss the first book in the series, Squirrel and Duck: Mission Improbable.

Critics Review
-
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.
