Rita loves going to the beach, to fly her kite, paddle and build a sandcastle. Whatsit, the cheeky, playful, philosophical dog, is not quite so keen. He would rather chase crabs and eat ice cream, and doze. When he disappears, Rita is not prepared for a surprise attack on her beautiful sandcastle. But Whatit is unlikely to have the last word.
