Crossing the road safely is like anything else - you can learn how to do it. That's what Miss Talentino tells Simon and the rest of his class, and she even gives them a demonstration. But there is one big difference: if you get a question wrong in class, you won't end up as flat as a pizza! Young children will be hugely entertained by this humorous tale from the popular author of such award-winning titles as Goggle Eyes and Flour Babies.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Anne Fine's shorter novels deserve close attention. This is serious stuff... But the entertainment value is high." The Guardian * "Anne Fine is never afraid to tackle hard issues and How to Cross the Road and Not Turn Into a Pizza addresses a subject that gets far less attention than it used to. The author's message is a strong and clear one - that crossing the road safely is something that needs to be learned." TES Primary * "Full of the humour we have come to expect from Anne Fine. Children are hooked as soon as they read the opening conversations about a recent accident... This is a quick read, great to share and ideal for new readers." Literacy and Learning
