Whinchat Goes Camping

In this second book about Whinchat, the chatty little Optimist dinghy, twins Suzie and Rupert are thrilled to be allowed to go camping with their older cousin John and take Whinchat with them. They sail to the beach, swim and cook supper over a camp fire, leaving Whinchat afloat in the creek and tied to a tree, beforespending their first night in a tent.

The next morning, Whinchat has gone! Has she floated, all alone, out to sea - and will the children ever see her again? (For 4 to 7 year olds.)
