Alice in Wonderland: The Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Book excerpt: Alice in Wonderland: The Mad Hatter's Tea Party brings this classic and beloved story to a new generation of 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.
