A review by quirkybibliophile
Bernard Pepperlin by Cara Hoffman

3.0

Bernard is stuck in the world of Alice and Wonderland after Alice no longer lives there and is living a pretty mundane life. He falls through a tea pot and escapes this world into the city of New York, but sadly that world has problems of its own. There's a gang who wants to stop time and Bernard is afraid that if they succeed he is going to be stuck with a life like the one he had in the past but worst.

The characters in this story are so cute and sweet, I love that its written around animals and their lives. It was so nice to imagine that these animals who live amongst us have lives and problems of their own just like us. I really enjoyed the humor in the interactions Bernard has with other animals and the range of emotions behind those interactions.

I recommend this to children ages 7-11 and to adults who are looking for a cute short read.
