Incredibly clever! I loved the word play and humor in it.

It was fun to relive the adventures of Alice and see exactly where the inspirations for Heartless came from in the book.

man, this guy must have been on some serious opium.

Classic.

I read this aloud to my kids, because CLASSIC. Ugh. It was such a chore to read, but we persevered, because CLASSIC.
We cheered when it was over. We hated it so much. SO MUCH. For example, a baby gets physically and verbally abused, and then turns into a pig? Really? And don’t even get me started on all the BIG, small, BIG, small. We get it, Reverend Dodgson, she changes sizes A LOT. My daughter was working on studying character traits, and the things we came up with for Alice were these: mean, poor social skills, curious, not good at logical thinking, rude, talks to self, bad listener, shallow. So I guess the one positive is that it was a good learning experience for my daughter to have such an utterly unlikable protagonist to analyze.

This version of Alice in Wonderland automatically gets a five star just for the artwork. I had been looking for this addition for so long and my sister found it for me at a discount store. It will forever be a staple in my collection.
Reading this along with listening to the audiobook gave me time to actually look at the artwork and somewhat make it come alive in my imagination
