Overview
The Squirrel and Duck series follows two mismatched best friends stumbling through one ridiculous escapade after another. Squirrel is prickly, cynical, and always looking for the easy way out, while Duck is sunny, sincere, and endlessly optimistic. This laugh-out-loud illustrated set is packed with slapstick humor, sharp dialogue, and heartfelt friendship moments that make it a favorite for confident young readers who love silly, fast-paced comedy stories with plenty of pictures on every page.

About the Books
This three-book paperback set brings together the hilarious adventures of Squirrel and Duck, an odd-couple duo who have shared a cozy home ever since their old theme park was torn down. In Mission Improbable, the pair overhear two hopeless art thieves plotting a heist and get swept into a wild chase for treasure (or, as Duck sees it, a chance to do something heroic). In Invasion of the Doggy-Snatchers, the friends notice dogs all over town acting strangely and set out to investigate, uncovering a mystery that is equal parts spooky and side-splitting. Quack to the Future continues the pair's string of mishaps with another fast-moving, comedic caper. Each book is fully illustrated throughout, with expressive artwork on nearly every spread that brings Squirrel's exasperation and Duck's cheerful confidence to life. Written by author-illustrator Tom Percival, the series blends short chapters, big personality, and visual humor for eager and reluctant readers alike. Fans of funny animal duos will recognize the same warmth that runs through Percival's picture book work, now aimed at readers ready for their first "real" chapter books. Themes of loyalty, patience, and finding fun in everyday chaos run through all three stories.
