Meet the cast — the characters who teach this

  • Pacey (Hero and guide, a young fox) - counts every footstep out loud; one step is one unit, and every walk is measured in it
  • Benchley A tortoise who rests on a bench every ten steps - so a long walk is counted in tens
  • Beeline A bee who always flies the shortest way - and asks whether a footbridge or a crossing would make the walk shorter
  • Leafy A hedgehog who walks under trees - she smiles at shade, quiet and things to look at, because a short walk is not always a pleasant one
