I have to give credit for the effort that went into adapting Alice for a younger audience. However, I don't think there are any redeeming qualities with this version. The text is riddled with typos: sentences end with semicolons, subjects and verbs disagree, a few sentences feature two verbs, the list goes on. These aren't ESL errors; rather, it seems that multiple people had their hands on the final draft and didn't bother to make absolutely certain their edits were grammatically correct. Find and replace, anyone?
Additionally, efforts were made to keep certain aspects as faithful to the original as possible. What results is a confused mishmash of language, some contemporary to Carroll, some to the present day, and some tries to "talk down" to the kids reading/being read to. The length was perhaps more digestible, but apart from that, I wish I'd just read my daughter the original.

El cuento de Alicia tal cual, solo que con cabello oscuro. Lleno de disparates y comentarios sin sentido, una historia de lo más loca.
“Seguro que cuando seas mayor, seguirás teniendo el corazón de un niño. A tu alrededor se reunirán una multitud de pequeños con los ojos brillantes y ávidos, para escuchar tus extraordinarias historias. Y, quizá, una sea este sueño sobre todo el país de las maravillas”
— Lewis Carroll

Es único y muy curioso. La mezcla del humor negro y esa moraleja al final dicha por la hermana para mostrar el cambio de la niñez a la madures. Bueno es como una pasada este loco mundo, que me causo gracia y un buen rato para reír.

The book is only 12 pages long. Yhw story was shortened as much as possible, but in a way that it still makes some sense. Of course, most of the lovely parts of the original book are missing, but the point is that this is a pop-up book and a splendid one! Some images pop up spectacularly and others are so very clever. I nice to have.
