Absolutely adore the art, and our store has been doing quite well with this format of book lately. They look a little weird on the shelf, but are perfect right on top.
A wonderful and short story of Alice in Wonderland. This is the cutest book and the artwork is absolutely stunning. It would be a perfect read for kids because its interactive, colorful, and so easy to read!
I'm normally here to review books. I would define this product however as a 'thing', not a book. Sure it has a spine and pages, and words and pictures, but from what I can sense with my digital review copy, it's to be used as a thing – something to touch, look at and play with before you have a real book in your hands. I actually liked the progression from the smallest first page to the full-sized last, and the die-cut engineering (or whatever the real term is) must be costly and a bit of a challenge. But at the same time, the holes-through-the-pages conceit leads nowhere before it's dumped (oh for the books with peculiar details and surprises to be revealed through such a ruse), the design isn't really that attractive, and the bowdlerisation of the original Carroll, whatever you think the merits of that may be, serves nobody. A high rating for the production values as a 'thing', mais ceci n'est pas un livre. One and a half stars – the previous junior versions of Alice were fine as they stood.
