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.

on 30 August 2011I realy enjoyed The Highway Rat, it is one of my favorite books.
My favourite bit was at the end in the cake shop because I like cakes!
My least favourite bit was when the Highway Rat was eating all the food because it is coloured with dull colours.
