This title presents an irresistible duo: Rita, a determined, rather cross and bossy little girl, and Whatsit, the cheeky, playful, philosophical dog with no name.

It includes charming, spare artwork, full of detail and wit, and delightful dialogues between the two friends.Rita is very excited - they are going to the countryside for a picnic.

What will they eat? Will they play Cowboys and Indians? (depends on that Whatsit!). Will the weather be good? And will they remember to take everybody home!!!!
