About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling frustrated by the rigid, often nonsensical rules of the adult world or when they are struggling to find their voice in a crowd of loud opinions. It provides a safe, humorous space for children to explore the concept of identity and the feeling of being 'too big' or 'too small' for their current circumstances. This specific edition from Chronicle Books is a visual masterpiece, showcasing how different artists have interpreted Alice's journey over time. The story follows Alice as she tumbles into a world where logic is flipped upside down, forcing her to rely on her own wit and resilience. While the language is sophisticated, the emotional core resonates with any child navigating the transition from the structured play of early childhood to the complex social expectations of pre-adolescence. It is a celebration of intellectual curiosity and the power of a child's internal logic over external chaos.
