The Highway Rat
The Highway Rat is a picture book by Julia Donaldson which was made into an animation film in 2017.
If you have the book at home, read it and compare it to the original Highwayman poem. How is it similar? How is it different? Or you can listen to the story here.
Watch the animation film which can be found on BBC iplayer: use the link below.

Imagine that the highway rat meets a different creature to who is in the book. What might he steal from them?
