Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland is about Alice’s venture in Wonderland, precisely what the title tells you. In short summary, a white rabbit catches Alice’s attention as he says “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!” and jumps down a rabbit hole, which she then goes down too, finding herself in Wonderland. She meets different creatures throughout her adventure, some whom are hard to get along with, and during her journey she changes size after eating or drinking different things she comes across. Eventually, Alice wakes up back at the riverbank where the story began. This book would best suit children ages six and up. The tone of this story is mostly straightforward and the main theme is the coming of age. Connected to the theme is the motif of identity; shown in this book through Alice’s struggles with the importance and instability of her personal identity. The characters are interesting and strange adding to the captivating dialogue. Black and white illustrations are dispersed throughout the book, in moderation. The book is very engaging and I believe most children will enjoy the story.
