Bernard Pepperlin by Cara Hoffman
3.0
Bernard Pepperlin, infamous tea party dormouse, is stuck in Wonderland where time is at a standstill. He’s forever attending the same tea party. One day he is tossed into a teapot by the Mad Hatter and March Hare and he changes his fate. He swims to the bottom of the teapot and pops up in Manhattan.
Life is hustling and bustling in a Manhattan, but the Pork Pie Gang wants to take over by stopping time. Bernard and a multitude of other animals he meets along the way work to put a stop to their plans.
I had high hopes for this one, but it was just missing something. I read this out loud to my 5 year old and he had a hard time keeping track of all the animals. I agree, we really didn’t need to meet them all to help fight the Pork Pie Gang. What was missing? Maybe the magic of Alice in Wonderland. Talking animals are fun, but these were a bit mundane in comparison to those in Wonderland.
