This Usborne chapter book is a delightful adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic, "Through the Looking-Glass," designed for children aged 4-11 who are developing their reading skills. It follows Alice's adventures in a whimsical world beyond her mirror, encountering familiar characters like Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Humpty Dumpty, and the Red and White Queens. The story is presented in an accessible format, making complex narratives enjoyable and building reading confidence. It's an excellent choice for introducing children to classic literature in an engaging way.
This is a new title in the 'Usborne Reading Programme', which is aimed at children whose reading ability and confidence allows them to tackle longer and more complex stories. After returning from Wonderland, Alice's adventures continue when she steps through a looking glass and into the topsy-turvy world beyond. This title is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is a senior lecturer in education and an early reading specialist from Roehampton University.
