The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler



This meets the usual high standards of Julia Donaldson's and Axel Scheffler's previous collaborations.


The Highway Rat is a dastardly fiend. He steals all the passing animals' food. However we all know crime doesn't pay and as you'd expect he gets his comeuppance. Just like in The Gruffalo a quick thinking rodent is able to turn the tables on him. So there is a definite moral to the story, plus there are the usual high-quality pictures and rhymes to go with it.

Hard to fault really.


(I got this book to review through Amazon Vine. It is listed here.)
