ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Product Information

acest an am prins mai bine gustul pentru povestea cu Alice în Țara Minunilor, ea ducându-mă cu gândul la copilărie, la vremurile când nu aveam atât de multe griji, iar lucrurile ciudate și pline de nonsens erau la ordinea zilei. It delights children but adults will appreciate the period evocation of the festive-season cities and the off-season seaside.' The Sunday Times

It delights children but adults will appreciate the period evocation of the festive-season cities and the off-season seaside.' Când a văzut casa Iepurelui de Martie, cu coșurile sale în formă de urechi, Alice a mai mâncat repede din ciupercă, să se facă mai înaltă. Sub un copac se afla o masă lungă, iar acolo, la un capăt, ședeau la un ceai Iepurele de Martie și Pălărierul. Își sprijineau coatele de un pârș care dormea buștean. A heart-warming tale of how friendships begin! This book is a wonderful tactile experience, from the shimmery glittery cover! to the gentle watercolours inside, which are printed on the creamiest of papers.'

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Reading

I love you! would melt the stoniest heart. Blue Kangaroo is ousted from his place! by a procession of new toys. A tender and touching story for three to six year olds.' Local Hero is appealing, but not dynamic enough for the best display of Evans’s talents. The original plot – Houston-based oil company sends Gucci-clad executive loafering over to buy an entire Highland village for a petrochemical development – looks prescient, and David Greig’s adaptation has sharpened its edges. Axing two main characters, and making the part played here by soaring-voiced Lillie Flynn less frisky and more furious, Greig has brought out some particularly 21st-century concerns about coastal expansion – not only environmental degradation but house-snatching by incomers – and made the villagers slightly less folksy and more worldly. Yet the strange fairytale jumble of mood and time remains: here is elegy, venality and despair, digital watches and, of course, a coin-slot phone box. Hilton McRae’s nicely etched astronomer-beachcomber, sitting on the strand in his armchair with telescope and wise saws, looks like a forerunner of Jerusalem’s Johnny Rooster. The main character is portrayed as a girl with an enquiring mind, and rebellious spirit. The character is released from constraints by inhabiting abnormal worlds. This protagonist is inquisitive and not scared to meet new and exciting experiences. Alice first reveals herself to the reader, appropriately, in a thought: "’and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversations?' "This is Alice's unique thought in the real world just prior to her dream.

Two irresistible new characters from the creator of the popular Blue Kangaroo series.' Winter edition, Primary Times Emma Chichester Clark has illustrated a vast number of children's books, and she has also written and illustrated many of her own stories, mainly for very young children. Other stories celebrate everyday life: Eliza and the Moonchild (2007) is a delightful and inventive story in which a moonchild becomes bored with the whiteness of his moon home and decides to visit Earth, where he meets Eliza who shows him the beautiful colours of the planet. Though it is a fantasy story, it is rooted in the child's everyday reality - the excitement of the moonchild exploring Earth for the first time encourages readers to observe and appreciate the world we live in, and does in fact echo the excitement of a toddler's day-to-day explorations and discoveries. McDermott says he thinks of this stage version as being not so much an adaptation of the film as ‘a sister’ to it You don't have to get too sentimental to find something special...The light in the illustrations makes this book all the more magical.'

Alice learns to understand the adult world somewhat more. In fact, she is growing up. This is also represented by her physical changes during the story, the growing and shrinking.
