About this product

Product Information

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. Then he finally gets his comeuppance, courtesy of a cunning duck... A fabulous, rollicking rhyme, in the style of the famous Alfred Noyes poem, 'The Highwayman'.

I am the Rat of the Highway
Fantastic book following a rat that travels the highway stealing travellers food. Loved Stickman, The Graffalo, Room on the Broom and the many others by this great author so wasn’t a question on if to buy or not 😊 A perfect bedtime story book

This product was definitely not 'very good' condition.
Please see my photos which shows this product. I gave this to my daughter for her birthday, I expected it to not have any rips or tears at all, let alone on nearly every page. Extremely disappointing.
