Chip and Potato: Chip's Holiday
What's the Story?
CHIP AND POTATO: CHIP'S HOLIDAY is an upbeat and fun special that showcases Chip and her best friend, Potato's vacation to La Isla Happitita. Of course, Chip's family is along for the adventure too! The family is welcomed to the Spanish speaking island by their guide, Barbara Capybara. Chip makes two new friends on vacation -- a tamarin monkey and Armando. Chip and her family soon realize that one of the island's unique treasures, coconuts, can be beautiful and delicious or noisy and messy. When the coconuts interfere with Chip's plans, she has to use her problem-solving and flexible thinking skills to save the day. Will Chip and Potato be able to make the best of the situation, or will their vacation adventure be ruined?
