The Highway Rat
by Julia Donaldson
Age: Preschool-1st grade
Animal: Rat bandit
He is a sinister one, that Highway Rat. I really like the rhyme scheme and the repetition of "the highway-the highway-the highway" would be great to read aloud in a grandiose voice. The ending was a little weird because the animals of the highway were able to trick off the Rat. He ended up leaving and finding another village where he apparently sought employment in a sweets shop. I think it was because he could eat the crumbs from the floor but it seemed like a rather lack-luster ending for the bossy Rat.
