Fast, Slow. Let's Go!

This is the way we skate along, skate along, skate along,
This is the way we skate along

Reviews
Fast, Slow, Let’s Go is a rollicking ride that will sweep readers, young and old, in a celebration of movement and community.
NZ Book Lovers
This is an engaging story for young readers who will have fun identifying all the ways the children are travelling as their tongues wrap themselves around the familiar rhythm, rhyme and patterns of the classic Here we go round the mulberry bush, and joining in, the anticipation building as they predict where the children are going and why.
