  As part of a series designed to arouse children's curiosity in their immediate environment, this book encourages young readers to study features of the streets in their neighbourhood. It looks at the origins of street names, the meaning of various markings and signs, and introduces unusual features such as tourist machines. The book also tells children how to make an emergency call from a telephone kiosk. The series is designed for primary school project work but can also be used by children on their own. Clive Pace and Jean Birch are both teachers and children's educational librarians. They are the joint editors of Books in School and Bookfile .
