Alice in Wonderland
Disney Vintage Collection. Chirpy Bird, 2014. ISBN 9781742978215
(Age: K-4) One summer day, while daydreaming through a history
lesson, Alice spotted a fully dressed white rabbit hurrying past.
Curious, she followed him - down a rabbit hole and into an enchanted
world.
Wonderland was a peculiar place, filled with strange creatures and
nonsense. The Mad Hatter was busy celebrating his 'unbirthday', the
Cheshire Cat could appear and disappear at will, and the
temperamental Queen of Hearts would yell 'off with their heads' to
anyone who offended her - including poor Alice . . .
This is a retelling of the Lewis Carroll classic that is perfect for
younger readers. Whether read aloud or read alone, it is a wonderful
introduction that encapsulates the essence of Carroll's tale without
being overwhelming. In its special vintage livery of cloth spine,
gold foil and full colour illustrations in the traditional Disney
style, it is the final in this series which includes Bambi,
Cinderella, Peter Pan and Pinocchio. Each one
in the series is a great way to start children off on their journey
through the stories that have endured from generation to generation,
providing the foundation for understanding the originals when they
are ready.
Definitely worth having in your collection and suggesting to parents
and grandparents as a perfect gift.
