LOVED Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, so I’m giving that book a 4, but u fortunately I just couldn’t get into Through the Looking Glass, which would get a 2 star. Compromising on a 3 for the two.

Such a fun children's book. I have always loved the Disney cartoon, and I have been meaning to read the book. The book is very fun and there are refreshing differences between the book and the movie. Although, in the book Alice is supposed to be so young (7 I think?), and I just don't think she thought/behaved like a 7-year-old.

Last week I read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll to the girls each night before bed.
I'd never read the book before although I've seen several movie versions (who hasn't?). Honestly, I wasn't that impressed. I suppose I thought it would be a typical situation--that the book would be so so much better than the movies. It was fine. It just wasn't as magical as I imagined it would be. The movies are always so visually striking and I thought Carroll's descriptions a bit flat.
Obviously, the story is a classic non-sensical tale and it is good. I did especially enjoy the Mock Turtle's puns tales of the sea with slight variations on the words. Amberly enjoyed it. So ultimately, it was worth it.

I really enjoyed this! I've always meant to read it but just never got around to it until now - and I'm glad I finally did. It was fun and whimsical and just what I needed.
