Seller's description:
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 worldâs 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 Parentsâ 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 artistâs 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 childâs perspective to create an Alice accessible to all ages. . . . An ideal first introduction to a lifelong favorite read." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)

- the only edition that made my 5 year old want to read it.
My daughter's name is Alisa( english spelling of the Russian version of Alice) and I always wanted her to get interested in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. But everytime I start reading the book to her( and I tried every possible edtion in Russian, in English, everything I could find both in stores and libraries), she would look through the pictures, listen through the 1st page and promptly loose interest. When I found this edition at our local bookstore I gave the book one more try. My daughter listened as before to the 1st page , looked at the pictures and ... asked me if we can buy it! I almost cried. Finally! Even though I appreciate "Alice..." for its head-over-heal crazyness, I always thought it was probably too much for a younger child and it was up to the illustrator to breach that gap in helping a child understand. Pictures in this edtion are modern, simple, colorful. The characters are not distorted, they're realistique and cute. So this particular edition has everything to help your child to get excited about this old classic.

- Extra Credit
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is an exciting fantasy novel by Lewis Carroll. His other works include Alice Through the Looking Glass, Phantasmagoria, Sylvie and Bruno, and Rhyme? And Reason? All of which are very creative and imaginative, but his best would have to be Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The book is enjoyed by most, but fantasy lovers and mature young adults seem to really love it. Once you read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, you get hooked and you have to read more. Carroll paints a vivid picture of Wonderland and all of it's crazy inhabitants you find around every corner. Each chapter has a different plot and character even though the complete novel has a pretty well known main idea. Carroll keeps it interesting all through the book. You can really tell that he's trying to get the point across of the world not being perfect and it would be better if people just went with the flow. I would definitely recommend this to my friends. Most of them would enjoy it. It is a really fun, fun book! -Review By Madi Joiner

- Modern Pictures Get Your Interest
It was the cover picture of Alice and the Rabbit that caught my attention. Out of the many editions of Alice in Wonderland, I would recommend Alice's Adventures in Wonderland illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. Helen Oxenbury is a talented illustrator who won England's Kate Greenaway Medal for illustrators. She draws Alice like a modern girl very different from Disney's Alice with neat hair, an apron, and the poofy dress. Some of the pictures are coloured and some are not. This is the unabridged story with a bigger font than the others which is good for reading because alot of other novels have very small writing which is hard to read. This book would be awesome for Christmas, Hannukah and Easter presents or just a present for your family and maybe for yourself because it is paperback. However, it has thicker paper than the fragile pages in other paperback novels. You might get anothe edition of Alice in Wonderland because you think you're not going to read it again after you finish, but if you get this version, then you will want to read it again and again after you finish.

- Modern Pictures Get Your Interest.
It was the cover's picture of Alice and the Rabbit that caught my attention to get this book. Out of the many editions I would recommend the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. Helen Oxenbury is a talented illustrator who won England's Kate Greenaway medal for illustrators. She draws Alice like a modern girl very different from Disney's Alice whith her neat hair, apron, and the poofy dress. Some of the pictures are coloured and some are not. This is the unabridged story with a bigger font than the others. It is better for readers because novels usually have small fonts which are very hard to read. This book would be awsome for Christmas, Hannukah and Easter presents or just a present for your family and maybe for yourself because it it paper back. However, it has thicker paper than the fragile pages in other paperback novels. I would not recommend this for traveling because it weighs more then the other paper back novels. You might get another version of Alice in Wonderland because you think that you are not going to read it again after you finish, but if you get this book, you will want to read it again and again after you finish.
