![]() This book begins with Alice sitting outdoors with her older sister, when all of a sudden, Alice sees a white rabbit with a pocket watch and decides to chase after it. She follows the rabbit until she falls down a deep rabbit hole and finds herself in a room full of doors. She sees a tiny locked door that leads to a beautiful garden. She eats and drinks things that make her change in size, until she is able to get through the door into the garden. As Alice travels through the garden she meets several good and bad characters such as the Caterpillar who gives her great advice, Chesire who tells her to beware of the angry things ahead of her, and of course the Mad Hatter, and Queen of Hearts. Alice travels to the Queen's castle where she has to handle many obstacles. Eventually Alice wakes up from her dream. She then finds herself sitting under the tree where she fell asleep. This book is a timeless classic, and is great for many different ages. PUBLISHER: Templar; Slp edition GENRE: Fantasy AGES: Kindergarten-12, $20-24.99 (hardcover) REVIEWED BY: Crystal Scott

![]() After being swept up in a cyclone and taken away from the horribly grey land of Kansas, Dorothy finds herself (along with her dog Toto) in the wonderfully oddly colored land of Oz. All the young Dorothy wants to do is get home and she is told that the Wizard will certainly be able to send her there if she follows the yellow-brick road and visits him in the Emerald City. Off on an adventure Dorothy quickly meets the Scarecrow, the Tinman and the Cowardly Lion who all realize that they too have things that they want to ask the wizard for. When the crew reaches the Emerald city they all individually meet the Wizard who tells them all the same thing, the Wicked Witch of the West has to be defeated if they are to receive their wishes. The wizard is amazed to hear that they do in fact defeat the witch and he does his best to fulfill their wishes. Eventually Dorothy does get home, but not in the way that readers would originally imagine. This is a classic fantasy read that every library should have on its shelves since readers both young and old will be able to enjoy together.
