The animals he meets along his journey to find the poor creature are all very negative about his quest, telling him he is too slow to help. Sebastian ignores their comments, and his determination makes him slide even faster as he rushes to the snail's aid. The children who follow Sebastian cheer and encourage him, which also helps him speed up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen he finally rescues the drowning snail, the other animals are amazed and want to know how he moved so quickly. Sebastian admits that he doesn't know how it happens, but suggests that maybe snails can choose to be quick instead of being slow.\u003cstrong\u003e It's a matter of wanting something badly enough and doing all you can to get it\u003c\/strong\u003e. The animals realise that they make their own choices about how they behave, and it dawns on them that if the poor snail had drowned, it would have been all their fault. They feel ashamed at the realisation. The children cheer them all up, though, with cheers and shouts of joy for Sebastian, and the animals join in their chanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story culminates in a very surprising and satisfying conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story is written in rhyming verse for more enjoyment and includes several colourful, fun images.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe book encourages kindness and teaches young children to be brave and to try their best.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany children's picture and story books are on the market, but \u003cstrong\u003eGo, Go, Go, Sebastian Slow is unique. \u003c\/strong\u003eNot only does it tell a fun and exciting story about a tiny snail who goes on a massive mission, but \u003cstrong\u003ethe characters in the story can be sewn to accompany the book. \u003c\/strong\u003eCombining the book and a physical version of the child's favourite character would make \u003cstrong\u003ean ideal gift.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile some publishers offer a factory-made, plush version of the main character along with the book, these are mostly for younger children and accompany a board book, not a paperback.
