I liked the story and attracted my attention because it is not only on the cardboard and I love the old animated films.

One day Alice sees rabbit and she runs after it. She follows it down a rabbit hole and she arrives in the Wonderland. This story is very interesting and I like it.
One hot summer day, Alice sees a white rabbit and runs after it. She follows it down a rabbit-hole-and arrives in "Wonderland". Here,caterpillars can talk, rabbits have watches and Queen wants to cut off everybody's head! ( )

This has to be the most intricate read and imaginatively inspiring books that I have ever come across.

There is so much action occurring during Alice's time through the rabbit whole that explaining it would never be as satisfying as reading it. Each character occupies only small sections of the book but they are so memorable, so fascinating and different that one can not forget who they are, their story, and where they've come from.

Alice herself is very smart for her age (9 I do believe?) and questions every question that a character throws at her. She does not fuss over small matters but instead opts through out the book to accept the differences.

Carroll's characters make a lot of good points, their words have different meanings to it making the reader rethink about what they've just read. I nodded my head many times. Carroll is one for play on words and thinking outside the box about words, letters, and much much more.

Through The Looking Glass may have been even more elaborate with Alice's encounter with the White Queen and her journey through an imaginary chess board to reach the status of Queen.

There is so much more significant moments in the book that I want to comment on but it may just become an entire essay.

This is a classic, the classic I've heard so much about and so glad I spent the time to read! ( )

There are reasons why some books retain their popularity. ( )

908 Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll (read 6 Aug 1967) I figured this should be read, and I did not regret reading it. Have long been intending to read the sequel: Through the Looking-Glass, but have not done so--yet. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"
Quotations
And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing.
