STANLEY, MANDY
Lettice is a bunny who wishes to be a ballerina just like the human child she sees on a poster. Wearing dollsized dance attire, she hops off to join a class where her dazzlingly high jumps soon win her the leading role in the coming recital. When her friends and family begin to ignore Lettice, thinking she no longer cares about their simple pleasures, she eagerly renounces life on the stage and rejoins the rabbits for a wholesome romp in the meadow. It is all very simple and sweet, and preschoolers may well enjoy the story, no matter how superficial. The clear and clean illustrations are prettily appealing. Unfortunately, the soft pinks, grays, and greens against a pale yellow background are so muted they almost seem faded, although the silver sparkles on the dust jacket should catch the eye of youngsters.
