Sarah-Jane Stewart
Unfortunately there are all too many dangers lurking in the streets for the unwary child: traffic, bullies, gangs and the attentions of unknown adults. These and other potential hazards are unthreateningly, but straightforwardly presented using the rap form and a series of well-observed illustrations which are excellent springboards for discussion with junior children.
