Sometimes they get too grown-up to understand. The story felt more abridged than retold and even having read the full Alice I was thrown off in places by what Scieszka chose to omit or "retell." Mary Blair's artwork also confused me until my daughter, an artist who has watched many a documentary about the early animation of Disney's artists, explained to me these were likely Blair's concept art for the Disney movie. That made it easier to understand the nature of each illustration. 3 stars (and I'd only recommend it to fans of Mary Blair because the story itself was bleh; a parent/ teacher would have to do A LOT of embellishing to make reading this version fun for the kids) “Alice in Wonderland” retold by Jon Sciezska was an excellent adaptation of the visionary story. I really enjoyed the story for two reasons: the storyline itself and the character of Alice. I really like the character of Alice, because I feel as though she is very relatable. The story starts off by saying, “Have you ever tried to listen to a long, boring schoolbook on a warm, lazy day? And have you ever wondered why anyone would make a book so boring? Then you are just like Alice.” I often find myself daydreaming in life about how things could be made more interesting and wondering why some things are so dreadfully boring. Alice also liked to daydream and had an observant spirit, which I could really relate to. I found a kindred spirit in Alice’s character and really appreciated her sense of adventure and love of the abnormal. I also really enjoyed the storyline. Alice’s story starts with her becoming bored and following a white rabbit with a stopwatch she sees running across her lawn. She is so intrigued by this rabbit that she follows him down his rabbit hole and begins to fall slowly until she lands in a room with a tiny door. She then drinks a potion to make her shrink in size, but realizes when it’s too late that she has left the key to the door on the (now giant) table above her. This leads to a series of misfortunate events revolving around Alice shrinking and growing bigger, until she starts crying and floats on her tears through the doors keyhole out of the room. When she finally escapes she runs into an array of characters such as Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and March Hare, and a garden of talking flowers all who help (in their own unusual way) Alice find the white rabbit. Alice finally finds the white rabbit but then loses him again, only to stumble upon the castle of the Queen of Hearts and her card henchman. Alice helps the cards paint the roses red and then almost gets her head chopped off by the queen herself. Alice starts to panic and then suddenly wakes up outside of her home, no longer in Wonderland. Alice tries to tell her sister all that has happened to her, but she does believe her. The story ends by Alice deciding, “she would remember them (Wonderland and the white rabbit) for all time, no matter how grown up she might ever be.” This leads me to discuss the big idea of, “Alice in Wonderland.” I believe the big idea is for readers to understand that it is okay to have fanciful dreams and to act like a kid sometimes. Alice was a dreamer and even though her dreams led her down a somewhat scary path, she was not confined to the boredom that is normal life. When Alice tried to convey her stories of Wonderland to her sister Alice says, “But you know how it is with some people. Sometimes they get too grown up to understand” and her sister shrugs off her stories and tells Alice it is time for tea. I believe this line implies that at whatever age someone is, it is okay to have fantasies and hold on to child like memories that make them happy. I really enjoyed, “Alice in Wonderland” and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good traditional fantasy type book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This is an ambitious book that tries to condense a much longer one (or rather, the movie based on the classic novel) into picture book format. As a result, it is a bit wordy at times. This is definitely a picture book that is more appropriate for elementary school-age children than younger readers/listeners.
The illustrations are a pleasant gem as they are the works of Disney artist Mary Blair. They are vibrant and eye-catching. ( )
