Bedtime Favourite
Our 2-year-old loves this one before bed (she’s a big fan of Julia Donaldson books). It’s a good length to keep her interested without dragging on, and the story’s fun to read. The board book is a nice size for when we’re sitting together in the chair, and it’s easy to read even in low light. A great addition to the bedtime routine.

In "The Highway Rat," Julia Donaldson crafts a thrilling adventure story that is sure to captivate children's imaginations. The protagonist, a greedy rat with a penchant for pilfering food from other animals, embarks on a daring escapade that leads him to encounter a variety of woodland creatures. From a simple rabbit to a carefree squirrel and even a group of industrious ants, the rat's insatiable appetite knows no bounds. Beneath the surface of this rollicking adventure lies a valuable moral lesson. As the rat's greed leads him to trick an innocent duck out of its food, children learn the timeless truth that crime does not pay. In a satisfying twist, the clever duck outwits the rat and retrieves its stolen food, leaving the rat empty-handed. This conclusion delights young readers, reinforcing the idea that virtue ultimately triumphs over villainy. Inspired by the classic poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes, Julia Donaldson's adaptation transforms the original narrative into a delightful tale that resonates with children.

We liked it a lot, it is perfect for 2 - 3 year olds because of the hard pages, but even a 4-5 year old would enjoy it.
