Lettice Rabbit wants to be a ballerina more than anything else in the world. But learning to dance means leaving her brothers and sisters, and venturing into the busy town by herself.

Will such a very small rabbit really be able follow her dreams and become a ballet star?

Lettice is a little rabbit who wants to be a ballerina. A determined cottontail, she hops into town, locates a ballet school and asks to take lessons. When she can't find the proper outfit, she takes some clothes from a doll. She turns out to be the star of the class, and the star of her recital, too. Her family, who has seen her perform, is delighted with Lettice's success, but worries she won't want to do things like pick apples or carrots: "She's a star!" In an ending that comes several beats too quickly, Lettice goes home, realizing that because she now knows what it's like to be a ballerina, she prefers being a rabbit, with the wind in her fur and the grass between her toes. Just looking at the dust jacket illustration, with its pink gingham border and endearing bunny wearing sparkling slippers, will bring a smile. The inside art and the amusing text will keep it there. The message about being yourself will be heard, but frankly, Lettice makes it look like more fun to be a ballerina.
