The Flying Rabbit

By Mandy Stanley and Jane Horrocks

Lettice is a little rabbit with big dreams!

As Lettice hops around on the hill with her family she sees a little bird flying overhead, swooping and looping and then soaring away.
'How wonderful it must be to fly,' Lettice thinks and from that moment she makes up her mind that somehow or other she will…

She tries flapping her arms and even flapping her ears but no matter how hard she tries she can’t lift off the ground. But then Lettice hears a whirring sound and she sees a small plane flying overhead. Lettice follows the plane until eventually she sees it land. It is just the right size for a small, plump rabbit and Lettice can’t resist trying the little seat. Suddenly the plane makes a loud rumbling noise. It lurchs forward and jolts…

up…
up…
up… into the sky…

beginning the most exciting adventure of Lettice’s life!

Reviews for The Flying Rabbit

[kwolinski-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Lettice, The Flying Rabbit wanted to fly just like the little bird she saw in the sky. She then saw a plane land near her and decided to see what it was about. Suddenly, it took off! She crashed into a tree and then fell into the arms of a little girl. The girl was flying the plane with a remote control. Lettice loved that she flew but was sad and wished to be home. So the little girl put her back into the plane and flew her home to her family. This is a great book about making your dreams comes true.
