Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

4.0 (224)

Life gets strange when Alice sees a white rabbit wearing a coat and gloves. Then she follows him down a hole. Suddenly she grows smaller, larger, smaller, larger, smaller--and almost drown in her own tears. She meets a dodo, a lizard, a smoking caterpillar, a duchess... a cat without a grin. Then a grin--without a cat. She has a mad tea party with a hatter and a hare. And a madder croquet game with a King--where playing card soldiers are the hoops, flamingoes are the mallets, hedgehogs are the balls and the Queen of Hearts cries "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" Which lands Alice, the mock turtle, and a gryphon (a what?) at a trial without rules where death is the penalty! In Wonderland, anything can happen... And probably, anything will....

This amazing book utilizes real-size photographs to teach young learners about different animals. Instead of using words alone to explain the appearance and size of mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and birds, this book conveys information about scale and proportion with accurately-sized photographs. Simple, leveled text helps readers access this information and build vocabulary.
