Man and Zog.

'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?

Shiny foil highlights on the cover makes this a special gift

for toddlers

A fabulous, rollicking rhyme, in the style of the famous

Alfred Noyes poem, 'The Highwayman', from the UK's number one

picture book author and illustrator

Perfect read-aloud rhyming text and stunning pictures on every

page with lots of details to spot

Adventure, friendship and learning to be kind are at

the heart of this story

The Highway Rat has been adapted into a popular

animated film starring voices from David Tennant (Highway

Rat), Nina Sosanya (Duck), Rob Brydon (Horse), Tom Hollander
