Description
Lettice is fed up with being a rabbit - there must be more to life! She sees a poster of a ballerina and is so inspired that she decides to take up ballet lessons herself...
Learning to dance means Lettice will have to leave her brothers and sisters hopping happily on the hill and venture into the rather frightening town. But Lettice gathers together all of her courage, she begins lessons and even finds an outfit which is just the right size. Lettice loves to dance and she even gets the main part in the show. But there are times when Lettice would rather feel the wind blowing through her ears than have them tied tightly back in her hairband. Maybe being a rabbit is the best thing in the world after all!

Reviews / Votes
"This engaging debut picture book shows a considerable flair for observation and chacterisation. There is a great feeling of vibrancy and joy in this little story. Stanley's rather '50s style gives a delicious flavour to this very 'girly' book with its pink gingham endpapers and spot glitter cover." Books for Keeps"A delight for girls aged three to six."
