作者简介

PreSchool-K--Lettice has big dreams. One day, the little rabbit is wishing that she could fly when down from the sky comes a small pink airplane. She hops in and goes for an exhilarating and terrifying ride, ending up far away from her burrow. All ends well, however, thanks to the little girl who owns the battery-powered plane, and Lettice returns to her family a big hero. She muses, "Sometimes… you really can make a dream come true." The soft pastel illustrations depict the bunny's world with verve. She is a lovable heroine with an expressive face and lots of bounce. This is a good read-aloud for one child or many, with the added attraction of an essential life lesson as well.--Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA

  PreS. Lettice, who was a dancing rabbit in her first appearance, is now flying. Intrigued by birds, the little bunny tries to fly, but it's only after she accidentally climbs into a motorized toy plane that she gets a real bird's-eye view of the countryside. She has a close call when the little girl with the control box brings down the pink plane, and it's hard to say who is more surprised when the bunny and the child see one another. Lettice is worried that she won't get back to her family, but the girl has a solution: she flies the plane back to the spot where Lettice's family is having a picnic--much to the delight (and envy) of the other bunnies who are watching. This simple adventure is just right for the age group, as is the artwork, sweet and simple and executed in candy colors that immediately attract. Little ones will especially be drawn to the jacket picture of Lettice flying high in a pink plane, sprinkled with glitter. Ilene Cooper

  Reviews for 'Lettice the Dancing Rabbit' include:  "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."
