All the animals are afraid of the highway rat who steals all their food until a duck tricks him by making him think a cave is full of goodies to eat. '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?
A fabulous, rollicking rhyme, in the style of the famous Alfred Noyes poem, 'The Highwayman'
This edition features the classic story with a stunning redesigned cover and beautiful finish, making it a must-have addition to the bookshelves of all Donaldson and Scheffler fans - big and small!
