Synopsis

Lettice is a little rabbit with big dreams! She sees a poster of a ballerina and decides to take up ballet lessons herself but will such a very small rabbit really be able to become a star?

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, she practises hard and is rewarded with the main part in the end of term 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!
