Rita and Whatsit at the Beach

32 pp. | Chronicle | May, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8118-6551-7 $14.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Olivier Tallec. These two stories feature a girl named Rita and the dog she receives as a birthday gift. In the first volume, the pup allays Rita's peevishness as she searches for and settles on his name; the duo then shares unexpected fun at the beach. Spare black-and-white line drawings accented with red amusingly convey character and story-specific details (e.g., sunburn--ouch!). Review covers these titles: Rita and Whatsit and Rita and Whatsit at the Beach.
