Citation: Carroll, L. (1984). Alice’s adventures in Wonderland & through the looking-glass (First ed.). Bantam Classics.
This Lewis Carroll story is a quirky tale with funny characters and fun animals that brings readers into a different world. Alice falls down the rabbit's hole and is immediately met with choices that challenge her, while exploring this new fantastical world. A tea party ensues, and an encounter with an evil queen make this story delightful for any reader looking for something a little different than their reality.
A great read for children 8 and up and any child who delights in the quirks of the characters. My only issue with this book is that it can also be seen as a scary place for a child, so it is not just fun and enjoyment for Alice.
Overall, this book may have endured the test of time, but it loses points for potentially being scary of uncomfortable for the age group.
