Description
Suze and Tyson are back in this heartwarming follow-up to Fast Friends.
Suze and Tyson's class is going on a field trip to the zoo, and the two fast friends are excited to see all the animals, especially the cheetahs. But when the two get separated from their class, Tyson doesn't know which way to go. But Suze does. Can she lead the way back?
A wonderful, energetic story about friendship and inclusion, which also introduces kids to concepts of non-verbal communication and reading body language.

Editorial Reviews
Praise for Fast Friends
“With a play on words and a story of friendship beyond differences, Heather M. O'Connor helps children see the importance of focusing on our commonalities which connect us rather than that which might separate us.” (Fast Friends) — CanLit for Little Canadians
“Fast Friends is engaging, and its contents will provide superb talking points about special education and difference with audiences of school-aged children as well as the adults in their lives. This book will serve as an excellent addition to classrooms, school libraries, and programs on relevant topics.” (Fast Friends) — CM: Canadian Review of Materials
