Lettice the Flower Girl

Stanley, Mandy Lettice the Flower Girl; 24pp/ Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers 2005 ISBN-13 978-4169-1157-9; ISBN-10 1-4169-1157-X $9.95 (Preschool-First Grade)

Once again Stanley has managed to compel her readers with the stories of Lettice the rabbit. In the story, Lettice has the honor to be a flower girl in her dance teachers’ wedding. Lettice is excited for the day to come and is involved in a search to find a missing component to the wedding. The illustrations throughout the book bring movement to the words on the page. The illustrations are full of glitter and bright colors that help to bring out the mood that has been set. Stanley manages to connect to the early childhood age group with stories that are not only fun to read but capture the readers’ attention.
