Presentamos una edición ilustrada de Alicia en el País de las Maravillas, clásico imprescindible tanto para niños como para adultos. La historia nos introduce en un mundo subterráneo, anárquico y maravilloso. Abundan los personajes insólitos, los juegos de lógica, los dobles sentidos en las palabras empleadas y las situaciones absurdas. Las magníficas ilustraciones de Marta Gómez-Pintado hacen que esta edición de lujo sea perfecta para lectores de todas las edades.

I think I'd likely give it 3.5 stars if it hadn't been for the narrator. She did a wonderful job of bringing the story to life.
I was engaged throughout most of the book but there were some scenes that seemed to be a bit heavy on details that did nothing to enhance the story or move it forward. There were also plenty of parts where I had wished more time had been spent giving us some of the feelings of the characters - some very important things that were just glossed over and not really brought up again.
But I still enjoyed the overall package a lot so that's why I went with four stars instead of three and a half.

I just read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to my four year old, and we both liked it. Soon we'll read Through the Looking Glass too.
