The Naughty Rat
Obvs. as with all Julia Donaldson’s stories you know it’s gonna be good. Got this for my kids - the younger one (5) particularly loves it and has listened to it several times. The music sing-a-long’s nice too.

Great story and well read, as always by Imelda Staunton! My son loves the story and I love that he goes to sleep listening to a story.

Fantastic for children
I can't rave about this book enough, it's brilliant. We had a hardback copy so already had an idea of how the characters would sound (prior to the TV version being released). Imelda Staunton does an exceptional job of bringing it to life.
I've a lot of praise for the format as well - the story is about ten minutes, then there's another ten minutes of fun regarding the story, who said what?, who makes this sound? etc; then the last ten minutes is the book again as a readalong - Imelda pauses at the end of sentences for the listener to fill in the blanks. Our daughters love it and we have had it on repeat a few times on long journeys without it becoming grating as an adult.
I would also recommend Zog, it's in the same format. I keep Highway Rat and Zog permanently on my phone so there's always there for car journeys with the children, just in case.

The Highway - The Highway
My 4 year old son absolutely loves this story. We tend to listen to Audiobooks in the car and this one is currently on repeat. Very different sound to the TV Show version however, the narrator is consistent throughout most of the series which adds familiarity.

Old lady wins!
Our granddaughter enjoys this book more than any other. We constantly re-enact it with her. As Grandma, I enjoy the old lady of the story skilfully outwitting the wicked Highway Rat using her knowledge & cleverness. The book is very useful in encouraging a 2 1/2year old to eat up quickly & outwit Grandad as Highway Rat. Like all her books Julia Donaldson is spot on!
