Look insideThe Highway Rat: Book and CD
A bedtime rhyme with rattitude from Julia and Axel, now including an audio CD. This furry bandit will ambush your snacks – and your heart! Quick: hide your chocolate éclairs! Do you like buns?

What can stop his appetite for snack-based crime? Perhaps a clever duck can save the day…
