Synopsis

Crossing the road safely is like anything else - you can learn how to do it. That's what Miss Talentino tells Simon and his class, and she even gives them a demonstration. There is one big difference though, if you get a question wrong in class, you won't end up flat as a pizza.

Media Reviews
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
