Summary: Imagination
Review: My daughter read this wonderful book and these are her comments: This is a great book for children. It has lots of strange characters and great adventures.My favorite character in Through the Looking Glass is the Carpenter. I think this is a special book because it opens your imagination. I would have liked to be Alice. I love the way both the stories start.When I grow up, I am going to read it to my children.

Summary: the most WONDERfull version of the fabled classic
Review: THis is one of the most inchanting, fantastic, mavolus movies I ever saw. I first was it when I was 4 and it was on for a second time (I'm as old as the movie)and imedeatly fell in love with it, I was really angry when they no longer had it at the library about 4 years ago. This movie has the second greastest all star cast(lets not forgret Mad World here)in history, with a dazzling Carol Channing and Anthony Newly as the White Queene and Mad Hatter leading a cast of about 12 main characters, and Pat Morita and Shelly Winters leading at leasdt 30 some actors with Cameos and smaller roles. One of the best fetures in the movie is the score with meroble numbers such as "Just laugh", "Jam TOmarow Jam Yesterday", and of corse "And We Are Dancing", wich made me cry. One of the best parts of the movie was the last 15 minutes, even though I didn't like the Jaberwlky. In conclusion, I fing this better then anyother version of the Fabled Classic.

Summary: THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!
Review: This has got to be the best movie ever made. As a child I saw and taped it from t.v. Unfortunately, as many people know taping from t.v. includes commercials and low quality video tapes. I have been searching for the movie for about 5 years now. I am so glad I finally found it. This video includes a live cast with realistic special effects (without all of the computer animation). The scene where Alice shrinks/grows/shrinks in the room filled with doors and comes close to drowning herself in the pond is priceless. (I always remember wishing I'd find a special cake or drink that would make me grow and shrink.) The songs and stars in the movie make it a unique and a fantastic addition to any video collection.

Summary: This is great for your imagination!
Review: Alice in Wonderland is a great book. It gets your imagination going. It all starts when Alice is sitting on a bank with her sister and falls asleep. From there it is all imagination and from there your imagination never stops. Alice lets her curiosity get the best of her so she finds herself falling down a long, black, well after following the white rabbit. She follows the rabbit because she heard it say "Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!" Personally, I would have followed a talking rabbit also. After she hits the bottom of the well she finds all of these doors that she soon finds out are all locked. After she went around trying all of the doors she found a three legged table in the middle of the floor with a small gold key on it. The key was to small to fit any of the doors and she starts to wonder how she is going to get out of her. She then finds a curtain and she moves it. That's where she finds the door that the key fits. Once she opens the door she sees a beautiful garden but she is to large to fit in the door. Alice then finds a bottle marked "Drink Me" and when she drink it she shrinks. When she shrinks she noticed that she left the key on the table which now she is to small to get. Then she finds cookies that says "Eat Me" so of course Alice being as curiosity that she is she ate it. The cookie made her larger then what she was before. It made her so large that she got stuck. She started to cry which made her shrink once again. She cried so much that it caused a river of tears. Alice meets a lot of wonderful creatures and people during her adventure. She meets a caterpillar who gives her advice. She also meets the Duchess who has the Cheshire cat. Alice was confused about why the cat was smiling so she asked the Duchess. The Duchess said that he was a Cheshire cat and that it was supposed to smile. The Cheshire cat told Alice to go visit the Hatter, the March Hare, and the Dormouse. The cat told her that she would love them because they were mad. Alice did as the cat told her and visited them where she sit down and had tea with them. Alice also meets the Queen of Hearts won is an evil person. The Queens tarts get stolen and she thinks Alice stole them. Alice has to go to court over this. The Queen loved to scream "Off with her head!" Alice is woke from her wonderful dream by her sister. Alice then starts to think about how her sister will be when she grows older. At the beginning when she first falls asleep it is hard to tell if she is dreaming so that is kind of confusing but otherwise this book is wonderful and very easy to read.

Summary: Gorgeous and lush
Review: The book everyone has heard of but relative few have read.It's amazing how film versions, including Disney's, mix up elementsfrom either book like it doesn't matter -- or they didn't really understand what they were doing.But one of the most thoughful yet unsentimental moments I've ever read occurs in the closing paragraphs of "Wonderland," as Alice's sister dreamily muses on the innocence of childhood and lazy summer days, and how we grow up and take on new cares. Not to be missed.

Summary: Helen Oxenbury takes Alice into the 21st century with style!
Review: In this gloriously illustrated version of Alice, Helen Oxenbury has the brilliance to illustrate Alice as a contempory young girl! Actually, I read that Helen met a young girl at a party and was so impressed with the young lady that she became the model for this modern Alice! The girl's picture was in many UK newspapers last month! The book is filled with memorable characters - that you know are old friends but they have been given marvelous face lifts! Bravo!

Summary: Highly entertaining, definitly not just for children
Review: I first read this book when I was eleven because I thought that I might be missing out on something if I didn't. I found Alice's Adventures in Wonderland kind of boring but still good. Then I read Through the Looking Glass, and I loved it! I memorized all of the poems (jabberwocky being my favorite poem in the world), read it about a million times, and recomended it to people. Between Tweedledum and Tweedledee and Humpty Dumpty and all the reat of them, I had a lot of pleasant laughs and thoughts and dreams. Unfortunately, I read that Alice is losing popularity because people aren't at the reading level to read it before they outgrow fairy tales. This is a shame. people should preserve their imaginations just to read an excellent book like this and dream about it for a while. Now I am 13, and I stll treaasure this book. The poem at the very end of the book was so sad in way. it really summed up about how I feel about the magic of childhood.
