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 conversation?"

Book description

Ageless… independent readers beginning late primary/early intermediate, read-aloud in primary grades. John Tenniel’s illustrations are reproduced here, with an afterword by Peter Glassman that explains the process by which the woodcuts were included (they found the actual blocks moldering somewhere!) Gold-leafed pages. The classic look and feel of Alice.

The Kate Greenaway Medal winner--now in paperback!

Welcome back to a Wonderland that is as astonishingly new as it is joyously familiar. Helen Oxenbury, one of the world’s most acclaimed illustrators, brings her special brand of magic to the Lewis Carroll classic in a handsome volume boasting more illustrations than any other edition - called a "masterpiece" by Parents’ Choice. Her Wonderland is exuberant, contemporary, and lovingly created, with all the warmth, depth of emotion, humor, and acute observations of people and animals for which the artist’s work is so highly regarded. An elegant, textured cover with flaps makes this a beautiful gift book.

"Oxenbury applies her finely honed instinct for a child’s perspective to create an Alice accessible to all ages. . . . An ideal first introduction to a lifelong favorite read." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
