### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great story, just an issue with the flow and rhyming
  

*by G***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2018*

I really like this book. The story is good and the pictures are great. My only issue is with the rhyming and flow. I can make it flow well if I miss a couple of lines in the sections where it says “rat of the highway” repeatedly. I’m probably not reading it correctly, but I find it sounds better doing it my way and my daughter keeps interest more with the rhyming.Other than that slight issue, this book comes highly recommended, as do most of Julia Donaldson’s books.

    OK, but not a kids' favourite from this team
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 November 2011*

The Highway Rat has been pilfering... robbing all animals attempting to use the road of their foodstuffs in a bid to find himself some tasty (and sweet!) things to eat.This tribute to Alfred Noyes' 'The Highwayman' looks pretty enough, but really doesn't have the same kind of flow to it as past Julia Donaldson efforts such as 'The Gruffalo', 'Monkey Puzzle', 'Room on the Broom' and 'Tiddler'. The slightly cumbersome metre (and parts of the rhyme scheme) are lifted from Noyes, and combined with the occasional eye rhyme make this a bit less youngster-friendly than previous books. The story itself is interesting and quite entertaining, although the ruse through which the Highway Rat is ultimately tricked by a wily duck really isn't all that different from the ploy used by the Mouse in 'The Gruffalo's Child'.Scheffler's pictures are typically appealing, with scenery and characters that generally belong to the same woodland-theme as those used in the Gruffalo stories.Overall, this is a nice story - but not a favourite.

    Great book
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2017*

Loved this book and can’t wait to see the cartoon mini film of it. My kids were engrossed the whole way through this book so made a change not having them constantly asking questions while I’m trying to read. I’d highly recommend
