About the book: (From the rear panel of the book)
There is no storybook character more famous than Alice with her adventures in Wonderland. She attends a mad tea-party and plays croquet in the Queen of Hearts rose garden. She meets a White Rabbit wearing a vest and pocket-watch, a poetic Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, and March Hare–all Characters well known to children’s literature for over a century.
Add to this nursery classic the new dimension of surprise–from “pop-up” pictures to moveable illustrations and transformations–and the magic of Wonderland entices us like a dream through Looking-Glass House. Familiar images fill every page, based on the original 1865 designs prepared by John Tenniel. Written by Charles L. Dodgson under his better-known pseudonym of Lewis Carroll, the abridged text is essentially selected from the author’s own words and newly animated for the child in all of us.
