"Do not have definite expectations before you start your journey," advises W. Rabbit, Esquire, in a small attached booklet at the beginning of this interactive volume. Readers travel through a Wonderland where pulling tabs makes the bobble-headed Alice grow and the Cheshire Cat disappear. The zany illustrations are distractingly busy but intriguingly creepy. Castor's heavily abridged text may draw readers to Carroll's original.
