The little rabbit with big dreams returns in Lettice, the Flying Rabbit by Mandy Stanley. After watching a bird in flight, Lettice decides to test her own flying abilities (""She flapped her arms,/ she flapped her ears./ She even flapped her/ whiskers and tail, but/ nothing seemed to work""). With the help of a small pink airplane, she finally achieves her goal. Exuberant spot illustrations highlight her persistent efforts, and the breezy narration makes this an enjoyable tale.
