Niitu's best friend is Chips. It doesn't matter that Niitu is a kid and Chips is a seal, they spend every moment they can together. When Niitu and Chips head out for a day at the lake, being a seal ends up coming in very handy at the fishing hole!

A loveable Arctic friendship between a boy and a seal!

Reviews

"The full-page, full-colour illustrations are beautifully rendered and support the text completely...Children will enjoy learning the story by following the illustrations and hearing the text read to them. Teachers/caregivers can use Niitu and Chips when studying the North or discussing friendship, and animal habitats. Highly Recommended."-CM: Canadian Review of Materials
