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. (From Scholastic Canada)
