This story is about a wolf with very unhealthy habits. In the beginning he eats all sorts of junk food. He really wants to eat children, but it way too slow to catch them because he is so unhealthy. He grew unhealthier as time went on, until he met the Brownbread family. They take the unhealthy wolf in and try to teach him better habits. In the end he becomes much healthier and eventually healthy enough to beat Octavia in a race and is very happy.

I enjoyed this story and think that it could show more be a great way to motivate children to have healthier habits. I read this to my young cousins and have been trying to work with them about being healthy. I always ask them would you rather be like the healthy fast wolf or slow like unhealthy wolf and it usually works to get them to make better choices.

I think that this could be used in the classroom to help children develop healthier habits. You could also make a fun day after learning about being healthy and have races and other activities like in the book. show less

Being a former ballerina myself, this book was one of my favorites. It was all about a tiny rabbit named Lettice and her dreams of becoming a ballerina. To her surprise, she conquered her dream and even performed in the recital with all the other students. Not only did she perform, but she was the star! Though her new found fame was fun, she soon realized that being a bunny was much more fun than being a ballerina. This is a cute story to show kids that no matter what dreams you master, you show more should never forget where your roots are. show less

Lettice the Flying Rabbit is an cute story about a rabbit, who eventually is able to realize her dream of wanting to fly. Stanley does an excellent job in being able to take the reader on a journey of changing emotions that at first begins with an aspiration, then an attempt to try and meet that goal which at first fails and eventually is fulfilled.

This is a cute book for young children to read. This story is about a Lettice, young rabbit who sees a picture of a ballerina and dreams of being one one day. Lettice takes lessons and even stars in the end of the term dance recital. Her whole family comes to watch and she is nervous. Once the show is over she expects her family to wait for her but they don't. Her brothers don't think that she wants to attend a picnic because she is a star. Lettice soon realizes that being a star isn't as show more important of being who she really is. She takes her ballerina outfit off and joins her family for the family picnic. This is a great story about following dreams and realizing who you are. show less
