Alice in Wonderland ─ The Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Alice in Wonderland: The Mad Hatter's Tea Party brings this classic and beloved story to young children.

Alice in Wonderland: The Mad Hatter's Tea Party provides a faithful introduction to the classic and to Carroll's incredible imagination, something so magical that children will recall it when they are older and ready for the original work. With the simply extraordinary art of Eric Puybaret, Alice and her friends come brilliantly to life for the picture book reader. Read along as Alice encounters the Cheshire Cat, attends a tea party with the Mad Hatter and his friends, plays croquet with the Queen and her retinue, defends herself at trial, and ultimately returns home. Though the original Alice text might be too difficult to understand for pre-readers, the one-of-a-kind characters and fantastical situations are silly and fun and perfect for a picture book adaptation.

Lewis Carroll, was a pseudonym for Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a Victorian poet, mathematician, photographer, and prolific writer. Made famous by his tales regarding his 'little heroine' Alice, Carroll's work of nonsense fiction satirized much of victorian culture at the time. Most of his work was considered 'nonsense literature' and he wrote an entire poem with false words.
