Publisher Description
Once again, Alice finds herself in a peculiar place. In this sequel to 'Alice Adventures in Wonderland', Alice has climbed through a mirror and arrived in a world in which everything is reversed, like a reflection – including logic. It makes for another absurdly funny story full of wonder and snark that, like the first book, never talks down to its young audience. The popular Tim Burton movie, 'Alice in Wonderland' (2010), starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Anne Hathaway, to name is few, is loosely based on both this and the previous novel. In some ways, 'Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There' (1871) has had an even bigger impact on today's popular culture than the first book.-
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Reynolds has a friendly, frolicksome tone that helps children engage with Carroll's verbal antics, delightful silliness, and the very amusing concept of moving through and maneuvering in the reverse world of a mirror. Reynolds actually manages to recite the book's famous verse "Jabberwocky" backward, as though reading it in mirror writing. "It seems very pretty," Alice says, "but it's rather hard to understand!" Children familiar with the game of chess will take giggly pleasure in Alice's maneuvers on the squares and her encounters with the red and white kings and queens and other characters familiar from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Reynolds' vocal antics help children interpret words and actions and enhance the many pleasures of Alice's post-Wonderland journey while managing to keep adult listeners entertained.
