After my success with The Wonderful Wizard of OZ by L. Frank Baum read by Tituss Burgess, I decided to delve into more classic children's literature. Wonderland was the most obvious stop on the good ship Lollipop.
Sad to say, I didn't enjoy this one. Alice lacked all of Dorothy's of OZ intelligence, kindness, and humility. She is spoiled, uncaring, and completely self-centered. Yes, I know I'm talking about a child here...sigh. Still, how many times must she bring up Dinah the cat knowing it terrifies the little creatures in Wonderland and act shocked and put out when they run from her? 🤨
