From the bestselling author and illustrator duo of The
Gruffalo!
‘Give me your buns and your biscuits!
Give me your chocolate eclairs!
For I am the Rat of the highway,
and the Rat Thief never shares!’
Life is not safe for the other animals, as the villainous Highway
Rat gallops along the highway, stealing their food.
Clover from a rabbit; nuts from a squirrel – he even steals
his own horse’s hay.
Will he finally meet his comeuppance, in the form of a cunning
duck?
This edition has shiny purple foil on the cover - released to
celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2018.
A fabulous, rollicking rhyme, in the style of the famous Alfred
Noyes poem, ‘The Highwayman’
