This book made me do something I haven't done in ages, write notes in margins and highlight passages. I recognize most events and Alice in Wonderland and a few from Through the Looking Glass. Looking Glass was really hard to get through, story line was more nonsensical then Wonderland. It just didn't hold my attention. I'm sure I will read this to my kids though. Great coming-of-age story for the growth of Alice from a child to an adult completely eluded me though. It was a fun light read, that seemed whimsical and silly, exactly something my 6 year old would love. The idea that this talks about growing up and a child's perception of the world through aging eyes is just as nonsensical to me as the story itself. I liked it, I just couldn't see the underlying message. I think that if I read it again to my kids for just the story and not for a hidden meaning, I will enjoy it more
