'Give me your buns and your biscuits!
Give
me your chocolate éclairs!
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. Then he meets his comeuppance, in the form of
a cunning duck. A fabulous, rollicking rhyme, in the style of the
Alfred Noyes poem, 'The Highwayman'.
This Early Reader edition contains the complete classic story
and pictures
a pocket-book format
with an extra-clear font and layout to support children who are
gaining confidence in reading
