Disney's Alice Through the Alphabet (Timothy Webb; Illustrated by Iboix Estudi)

Disney's Alice Through the Alphabet

Timothy Webb; Illustrated by Iboix Estudi

Blurb: Once upon a time and in a land far, far away,

A young girl stared into the sky, to dream away her day,

But then a rabbit charged straight past, a watch clasped in her hand.

And raced into a burrow that led straight to Wonderland.

Alice quickly followed, filled with curious delight.

But failed to see that her own world was vanishing from sight.

She raced into a land that brimmed with much magic and strife -

A Wonderland in which the alphabet was brought to life!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass

Lewis Carroll

Blurb: Alice is one of the most beloved characters of English writing. A bright and inquisitive child, one boring summer afternoon she follows a white rabbit down a rabbit-hole. At the bottom she finds herself in a bizarre world full of strange creatures, and attends a very odd tea party and croquet match. This immensely witty and unique story mixes satire and puzzles, comedy and anxiety, to provide an astute depiction of the experience of childhood.
