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.

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
