Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis CarrollMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Narrator Scarlett Johansson does an excellent job narrating this classic. This is something that always bothered me: all this "eat me", "drink me", exploring underground passages. Is this really implicit advice for children? I guess few fairy tales really hold up as solid morality. I commend Carroll for creating an entry in that hallowed canon. I really like the quicky poems the most, then the characters themselves and their vignettes poling fun a the the adult world of caucuses, etc. ... not so much the loose adventure tale as a clothesline to hold it all together.
