Kittys Reader Notes & Book Snippet

Extract from the book: "The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence : at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.
'Who are you?' said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, 'I hardly know, sir, just at present -- at least I know who I was when I got up this morning but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'..."

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with its enchanting narrative, memorable characters, and surreal landscapes continues to captivate readers of all ages, transcending generations.

Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport readers to a world where anything is possible, encouraging them to embrace the magic of childhood wonder while contemplating deeper themes beneath the surface.

If you missed this one in childhood it is never too late! If not Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the perfect book to share with your children or grandchildren.
