This title features an irresistible new duo: Rita, a determined, rather cross and bossy little girl, and Whatsit, the cheeky, playful, philosophical dog with no name. It also features charming, spare artwork, full of detail and wit, and delightful dialogues between the two friends. It is Christmas Eve and Rita and Whatsit (the dog with no name) are writing their present wish list (Whatsit doesn't want much, only a hundred or so essential items), decorating the tree and putting out the stockings. Nothing can possibly go wrong - until Whatsit hears a noise downstairs!
