\nI read this book when I was a child and I can honestly say that I didn’t really appreciate it.\u00a0 Perhaps it’s because of my age when I read this book.\u00a0 I was always reading books that were for older children.\u00a0 So I’m so glad that I had a chance to re-read this book now.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 The situations, the incredible word play, and it’s all packed into a fast paced read that doesn’t disappoint.\u00a0 There is a certain logic to what happens to Alice and the beings around her.\u00a0 The reader is clued into this from the start.\u00a0 So as you read you do buy into the story and enter this fantastical land which resembles our society and yet doesn’t.\u00a0 I think there has to be a set of similar circumstances that mirror our world in order to understand this other world.\u00a0 As you read, you understand what will happen when she drinks things or eats things, or a myriad of other possibilities that occur when she meets various beings along the way. At the end of this story all the lose ends seem to be tied up and the reader wonders how there could possibly be another world for Alice to travel too.\u00a0 But there is . . .<\/p>\n
Alice enters her mirror and finds another world that mirrors her own reality.\u00a0 Nothing operates there like it should but once again the reader is clued into the logic early on, so once again the insanity makes sense.\u00a0 One of my favorite parts of this story is when Alice becomes a queen and hangs out with the red queen and white queen.\u00a0 The illustration in the book is priceless.\u00a0 I felt like I was hanging out with the girls on the square.<\/p>\n
I think readers of all ages will enjoy this book.\u00a0 My only caution would be that for younger children, it would be best to read this to them, so that a discussion can take place about what might be going on in the story to give them a better grasp of what the book is about.\u00a0 I know that would have helped me understand the story and appreciate it more when I read it as a child.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
