Illustrated by
Mary Blair.
The illustrations by Mary Blair, concept artist for the 1951 movie, feature darkly hued paintings full of rough brush strokes and dabs of ink that turn the familiar into something enchantingly different. As for the text, Scieszka keeps the sentences simple and engages readers directly ("Alice...did exactly what you would do") while managing a few deft Scieszkaian touches.
