**The Highway Rat - 15th Anniversary Edition**

Celebrate the rollicking adventurous picture book from the number one bestselling author and illustrator of *The Gruffalo* and *Zog* with this 15th anniversary edition!

*'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?

* This special anniversary edition includes exclusive bonus material - a letter from Julia Donaldson and original sketches from Axel Scheffler.
* 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.
