About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Squirrel and Duck: Mission Improbable by Tom Percival read by Stephen Alan Yorke

Hilarious fiction about unlikely friends Squirrel and Duck. Laugh as they outwit bungling burglars, with only the help of their pet cactus! Perfect for fans of the Dog Man and Grimwood series.

From the bestselling author of the Big Bright Feelings picture book series

'Had me laughing out loud from the very first page' Emily-Jane Clark, author of The Beasts of Knobbly Bottom

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 flee with nothing but Mr Spikes, Duck’s beloved ‘pet’ cactus. Overhearing a conversation between two nincompoop art thieves puts them 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 and a temporary lack of transport stand in their way! Young readers will love this zanily brilliant story, full of unlikely scenarios and laugh-out-loud moments.

Critic Reviews

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)
