description: New in paperback fo Spring 2003! In this sequel to "Hamlet and the Enormous Chinese Dragon Kite," the irrepressibly enthusiastic pig goes to the beach on a blustery spring day with his worry-wart pal, Quince the porcupine. Hamlet proceeds to build the world's biggest sandcastle--one that achieves comically stupendous proportions, and is complete with banqueting halls, dungeons, and elaborate tapestries woven from seaweed. In the meantime, Quince, who is supposed to be watching out for such far-fatched dangers as tidal waves, sharks, and splintery pieces of driftwood, falls asleep and fails to notice the incoming tide that traps them both in the rapidly-crumbling castle. Even though Quinces's quick thinking and creative problem-solving save the day, he blames himself for the near-disaster. So on the train ride home, Hamlet consoles him with a comforting cup of hot chocolate and encouraging words.
