ALICE IN A WINTER WONDERLAND, by Jan Brett, G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers, Nov. 26, 2024, Hardcover, $19.99 (ages 4-8)
Imagine a frosty trip down the rabbit hole in Alice in Winter Wonderland, a new picture book by Jan Brett.
When Alice spies a white rabbit checking his pocket watch before hippity-hopping down a crevasse in an Alaskan glacier, she knows she must follow him. And so, she pops down the rabbit hole, into a world of absurd personalities, topsy-turvy action, and laugh-out-loud silliness. Favorite characters like Cheshire Cat and the Duchess and King and Queen come to life as vibrant animals native to Alaska making this classic tale shine through a fresh lens, certain to appeal to readers of all ages. —Synopsis provided by G.P.

There’s a reason why readers young and old know who Jan Brett is. Her detailed illustrations and fun stories make Brett’s books an obvious choice.
This time around Brett takes the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland and sets it in Alaska. The characters are engaging and the hidden “Easter eggs” are delightful. This is a good choice as a gift or just because.
