- Book Synopsis
- 'Hilarious, off-the-wall and great fun' Sun Laugh-out-loud illustrated fiction about unlikely friends Squirrel and Duck. Giggle as they outwit bungling burglars, with only the help of their pet cactus! Perfect for fans of the Dog Man and Grimwood series. '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.
