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 redevelo p 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 brilliant story, full of unlikely scenarios and laugh-out-loud moments. Show more
