      • 22 pages

      This beautiful book is the perfect first introduction to Alice. Alison Jay's unique crackle-glazed style deftly captures Carroll's well-loved characters and will entertain babies and toddlers as she races through the story in a verb per page ('drink' / 'shrink'; 'eat' / 'grow'). Alice, the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter are all represented here. The board book encapsulates the zany other-worldness of Carroll's novel.
