Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

What I Loved

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland charms with its dream like world where nothing stays normal. Alice’s meetings, like the tea party or the croquet game with flamingos, mix humour and confusion in a fresh way. Carroll plays with language through puns and poems, making the book fun to read aloud. Alice stays curious and brave amid madness, showing child like strength. The story questions adult rules through nonsense, like trials or orders from the queen.

The short chapters keep the pace quick, yet each scene leaves thoughts about reality and growing up. This book stays fresh after many years.

Key Takeaway

Curiosity leads to wonder, even when the world seems mad.
