- Too Nice to Be a Coloring Book; But a Wonderful Abridged Alice Story
My daughter was going through an Alice in Wonderland phase after being exposed to the Disney movie, and we desired to acquaint her with the original work on which the movie had been based. Problem was she was younger than three, and not yet on to chapter books, so the original work would have been a bit overwhelming to her. After looking at and reading portions of many Alice adaptations, we found this coloring book was the perfect solution. The illustrations are Tenniel's original ones from the book, though are larger scale than any of the Alice books we own, so you get the full effect of the detail. It still wasn't readable all in one sitting, but my daughter sat with rapt attention as we read 10 or so pages at a time. It's too nice to use as a children's coloring book, but it serves well as a reading copy, and at a very reasonable price. I'm really glad we bought it, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an appropriate and thoughtfully shortened version of this classic.

- Beautiful book!
This isn't just a coloring book. This book has the most beautiful illustrations that go along with actual readings of the Alice in Wonderland story. I refuse to color in it. It's so beautiful and is a great addition to any Alice collection!

- gorgoues illustrations to make your own
I collect alice, and my daughter can never leave my collection alone, so i thought this the perfect way to give her a bit of alice for herself. She loves it, and trying to make the colors as she deems them "correct". It was such a nice piece, i in fact found myself having to order my own for my collection. Very happy with this perchase.

- More like a book than a coloring book
Even from the reviews I read, I was expecting more pictures than there are. The illustrations are just like what are in the original Alice book and are very detailed. I have a 4 and 5 year old, and this book is not one that I leave laying around - they only get to color in it as a special treat. I've colored a few myself, and some of them are really pretty difficult! Very nice change from a plain Jane coloring book, though. We use colored pencils, which probably work best for this type of picture.

- terrific book, poor quality paper
This is an odd product. It's a terrific little book, a nice abridgement of Alice's adventures, complete with enlarged illustrations of Tenniel's wonderful work. As such, it is a valuable book to me. But at the same time, it was made to be a coloring book, and is printed on coloring book-type paper--cheap, gray and almost pulp. Perhaps there should be two versions--a better-quality publication for those who love the story and the illustrations, and this one, for little children to desecrate. That said, the illustrations alone make this worth more than it costs. As others have said, buy at least two.
