The things I liked about the story are funny things that Max says like, “ the lolly pop lady is a witch with a magic wand that makes the cars stop”.

The included slideshow presentation for the teaching input will show them two paragraphs, both containing the same facts but with one being more detailed than the other.Still determined to fulfil his mission, Max discovers the best way to cross the road – with the help of the lollipop lady and some careful detective work . This non-chronological reports Year 2 English planning pack is inspired by the well-known story 'The Hodgeheg' by Dick King-Smith. For it was the young, adventurous and bright Max who set out on his adventures to discover a safe way for hedgehogs to cross the road safely.

Loved the hedgehog point of view and felt like this was a cross between Toad Rage by Morris Gleitzman and Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey. So one day he readies himself at the edge of the path and when the man turns green he tries to run across the road.

In addition to a valuable lesson on road safety, there's another very inspiring message that children can take away from this story.
