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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 3-book paperback set featuring the full Squirrel and Duck series so far\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully illustrated black-and-white artwork throughout keeps reluctant readers engaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort, punchy chapters build reading confidence and stamina for ages 7-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by acclaimed author-illustrator Tom Percival\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for classroom libraries, read-aloud time, or independent reading practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat birthday, holiday, or back-to-school gift for young comedy and animal-story fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSquirrel and Duck: Mission Improbable — Squirrel and Duck overhear two bumbling art thieves and stumble into a chaotic treasure hunt neither of them is prepared for.\u003cbr\u003eSquirrel and Duck: Invasion of the Doggy-Snatchers — When dogs all over town start behaving oddly, the unlikely duo sets off to solve the strange mystery themselves.\u003cbr\u003eSquirrel and Duck: Quack to the Future — Squirrel and Duck are back for another fast-paced, comedy-filled adventure full of their trademark bickering and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTom Percival is a British author and illustrator best known for the Big Bright Feelings picture book series, which explores childhood emotions with warmth and humor.
