Alice im Winterwunderland

I bought this for my niece and we both spent ages studying the intricate border illustrations—the arctic fox peeking through the snow is adorable. The way Jan Brett reimagines the classic tea party with fur-lined mugs is so clever. It’s quickly become her new bedtime favorite.

The snowy Alaska backdrop is so vivid it feels like you can hear the crunch of the tundra underfoot, and Brett’s detailed borders kept me flipping back to spot every hidden clue. My daughter’s already asked for it three nights in a row, which says everything.

My kids couldn't stop staring at the Alaska tundra scenes—the detail in the snow-covered mushrooms alone is worth the price. Jan Brett’s border art here is denser than usual, keeping them busy finding hidden clues long after story time.
