Alice in Wonderland »

It's possible that if Lewis Carroll had never met Alice Liddell, he might have enjoyed a more peaceful lifetime and an obscure legacy. But his whimsical inventiveness touched everything he did, and a story he made up one afternoon for a little girl became one of literature's great classics, Alice in Wonderland.

Alice. The Mad Hatter. The White Rabbit. The Cheshire Cat. The Queen of Hearts. Kids everywhere know the characters who inhabit Lewis Carroll's remarkable Wonderland—but they've never seen them like this. Alice in Wonderland truly brings the beloved work to life with magical visuals, creative pop-ups, and atmospheric sounds.

Kids will follow Alice as she takes advice from the caterpillar, attends a very strange tea party, and defends herself against the queen. They'll delight in her adventures at the White Rabbit's house and with the Cheshire Cat, and wonder with her whether her glorious trip to Wonderland was all a dream.

Sure to spark the imagination of every fantasy-loving kid, Alice in Wonderland is the ticket to Alice's unbelievable journey down the rabbit hole.

Publishers Weekly

A pensive, titian-haired Alice trips down the rabbit hole in this adaptation that pairs the classic story with gracefully expressive illustrations. Ingpen’s detailed visions of the menagerie of creatures Alice meets lend them anthropomorphic qualities while remaining anatomically precise. The Cheshire cat, who peers out at Alice from a crowd of leaves with a milk-tooth smile, does so with kittenish serenity. The infamous tea-party is a cozy affair with intimate soft-focus portraits in pencil of the sleepy dormouse, hare (who dips his watch into his cup of tea) and the rather bleary Mad Hatter, whose pencil-drawn sidewise glances suggest it’s all dreamy good fun. A lovely and faithful interpretation. Ages 10–up. (Nov.)
