What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Squirrel and Duck: Invasion of the Doggy-Snatchers by Tom Percival read by Stephen Alan Yorke

'Hilarious... addictive' Guardian

Brilliantly funny story in a series about unlikely friends Squirrel and Duck. Laugh on every page as they take down a secret alien conspiracy! Perfect for fans of Dog Man and Grimwood, aged 7+.

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

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 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.

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

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.
