My Thoughts:
- Abby usually visits fairy tales through the magic mirror in her basement, but this time she falls into a giant hole on a golf course, and instead of her brother and dog accompanying her, her two best friends and sort of enemy falls into the hole with her. Abby and her friends have to wander through Wonderland and figure out how to get back home. Abby also has to deal with Penny, who isn't her most favorite person.
- I like that Abby and Penny learn that they have more in common than they think. I also really like that Abby learns why Penny acts the way she does. It is a good lesson to learn. Often times, the mean kids at school are struggling in some way, and they are just acting out because they don't know how else to behave.
- I loved all the Wonderland characters. I am a sucker for Wonderland stories. It's whimsical setting and characters are delightful.
- Gnome and I enjoyed reading this together. We laughed and had a lot of fun.

I'm glad that you and Gnome are still enjoying reading these together. Does Gizmo enjoy reading books like these with you at all?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Gizmo and I read picture books together. She isn't interested in chapter books yet.
