Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

I should have looked at the size of this book in making the selection. Although this book is beautiful, lovely dust jacket, interesting illustrations, it is almost too big to casually read and is more of a coffee table book. It was bought as a companion to a collectable given as a Christmas present. The entire gift was precious though and the book really made it special.

Contrary to the reviews I've read, Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass is a great children's classic. A little girl falls asleep on a hot summer's day and dreams all the rest. I read this when I was a child and still love it. Relating it to drugs, etc., is absolutely absurd! Just goes to show how far our culture has deteriorated (no child like[[ASIN:0785824464 Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass]] imagination). The book should be understood "as is" nothing more, nothing less. It's a wonderfully funny fantasy I love it!! and so does my granddaughter.

I am sure this book must be beautiful but I never received it from this seller. They took the money out of my account and did not send me the book.

I don't understand the negative reviews.

Alice is an inquisitive, and very brave girl, who observes the world around her, and attempts to understand what is happening and how to handle it. Perhaps drug induced, but also the way a child might view the world and what is considered to be normal.

Great imagination

Beautiful book, my granddaughter loves to listen to

I have been reading some chapter books with my preschooler and she has really enjoyed it. I thought I would try this one since she was interested after meeting Alice at Disney. She loves the pictures and the book is very nice, but it is a little hard for her to follow at this age. I think we will put it away and try it again in a few years, when she can get more of the humor in Alice's dialogue with herself and understand the characters a little better.
