If you want to read up before the new Alice in Wonderland movie hits the theaters Friday, March 5, try some of the whimsical and thought-provoking versions offered in our Children's Department. Ever since John Tenniel illustrated Charles Dodge's original 1865 publication (published under the well-known pseudonym of Lewis Carroll), it seems to be every illustrator's dream to illustrate the story: Lisbeth Zwerger, Alison Jay, Michael Foreman, and Barry Moser ,to name a few. Even the sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, has garnered attention from illustrators like Helen Oxenbury with her accessible watercolors. After traveling through the pages with Alice, you and your family may enjoy taking in one of the Alice (and me) in Wonderland events held by the Orpheum Children's Science Museum. -Elaine B.
