The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler Paperback Book

Life is not safe with the villainous Highway Rat on the loose! He gallops along the highway, stealing food from the other animals. Clover from a rabbit, nuts from a squirrel – he even steals his own horse's hay. But the Highway Rat will meet his comeuppance, in the form of a cunning duck…

The Highway Rat children's book is a fabulous, rollicking rhyme in the style of the Alfred Noyes poem, 'The Highwayman'. Created by the picture book partnership of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo, this charming children's book features beautiful illustrations and lots of fun adventures along the highway.

The Highway Rat picture book has sold over 470,000 copies in the UK alone. Donaldson and Scheffler fans might even have seen the animated film!
