One White Rabbit: A Counting Book

Children who are still years away from reading about Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole can get a taste of Wonderland in a counting book based on some of Tenniel’s classic illustrations. Starting with “One White Rabbit for Alice to follow,” the straightforward text alludes to key moments in the story, from “four flowers” that “hide tiny Alice” to “six tea cups for a tea party” and “seven roses that need to be painted.” Bright colors bring a renewed freshness to the reproductions of Tenniel’s drawings, and the plain, pastel backdrops let the illustrations shine. Available simultaneously: A Is for Alice. Up to age 4. (Sept.)
