When Mino Took the Bus

Turning eight weeks old is no ordinary feat when you are a chipmunk. It's time to say goodbye to mama and set out alone towards what lies ahead. When the day comes for little Mino to leave, he gives his mama a kiss and excitedly gets on a bus.
As the bus stops and a new passenger boards, Mino begins to meet new friend after new friend, each who show him something he never knew before.
