On the way, Chinoo meets a cuddly little polar bear, a furry wolf cub, and a galumphing baby walrus, all wanting to play! But each time Chinoo's parents tell him to hurry up or he'll miss it. But what could it be? At the end of his long journey, Chinoo is rewarded with the glorious spectacle of the rising sun. Now, he can play outside whenever he likes! With depth of color and awe-inspiring landscapes, John Prater's work invites children to experience the powerful wonder of the natural world.
