Reach for this book when your child starts questioning the 'rules' of the world or feels frustrated by the confusing logic of adults. It is the ultimate remedy for the child who feels like a square peg in a round hole, offering a safe space to explore the absurdity of life. Through Alice's journey, children see that it is okay to be curious, to ask 'why', and to find humor in situations that make no sense. The story follows Alice into a subterranean world where animals talk and nothing stays the same size for long. Beyond the fantasy, it explores themes of identity and self-regulation as Alice navigates a series of social interactions that are both nonsensical and demanding. It is a brilliant choice for building vocabulary and introducing the concept of metaphorical thinking. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's internal sense of wonder while preparing them for the complexities of growing up.
