What is Castle about?
Kipper is enjoying a day at the beach, building a sandcastle with care. But making a strong, splendid castle is trickier than he expected. The sand keeps shifting, and something important is missing. Can Kipper work out what his castle needs before the waves arrive? With simple text, bright illustrations and a gentle touch of humour, this playful story follows Kipper as he experiments, solves a small problem and proudly completes his sandy creation.
