Review

Alice in Wonderland Down the Rabbit Hole is a modern retelling of the classic tale by Lewis Carroll. This picture book edits the story down to its basic form and allows a younger audience with their shorter attention spans to enjoy the experience of following Alice into Wonderland. I do worry a bit that this book is so quick paced, only tells the first five chapters of the original story and then ends abruptly. That being said, the charming and beautiful illustrations alone make this a wonderful picture book. With the 150th anniversary of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, this would fit well into the high interest category of books.

Overall Book Score: excellent
