A great integration of logic and insanity as Carrol navigates the boundaries of reality through the eyes of a young girl.
7/10 ⭐
this world managed to capture my attention during my school years. i actually read it in full and not the abridged version, which felt like a mission impossible for the younger me. proud of this one

The illustrations in this pop-up book are fun enough, and my kids love them, but the text is terribly disjointed and makes absolutely no sense on its own. Very disappointing.
This was a really cute and whimsical story; I'm so glad I finally picked it up but I almost wish I'd read it at a younger age, because my inner child loved this lol! I think the Disney movie actually did really well with adapting this, which is awesome! And this may sound silly, but this is making me want to pick up my most favorite book Heartless again now that I've read the original, just to pick up on all the references!
I listened to this on audio with Scarlett Johansson as the narrator. This is a story that I feel is best adapted to the screen. The story is very well known and I thought that actual book was disappointing. I also was not expecting it to be as short as it was and felt that I was missing things. Perhaps this is because I was just more familiar with the movie versions. I think it would have been much more enjoyable if I was reading it for the first time without knowing as much as I had.

I always love this classic tale! One of my favorites from childhood.
