Alice in a Winter Wonderland

★ “A highly artistic rendition of a loved fantasy for the classroom and the public library shelves… The narrative provides vocabulary words and phrase repetition, allowing an interactive reading with upper primary kids covering the fantasy unit. Although the narrative appears playful, it is also reminiscent of the 19th-century nonsense literature that Carroll mastered. Brett offers detail-oriented, intricately beautiful illustrations characteristic of her work.” –School Library Journal, starred review

“Characteristic of Brett’s illustrative style, each spread is packed with detail. Observant readers will find much to explore, from the well-worn playing cards that line each page to the intricate Alaskan birds and mammals featured at every turn.” –Kirkus Reviews

Jan Brett lives in a seacoast town in Massachusetts, close to where she grew up. During the summer, her family moves to a home in the Berkshire Hills. She is a New York Times #1 bestselling author/illustrator, one of America’s most popular, with over 44 million books in print, and has brought to life lovable characters and imaginary backdrops for children for more than 40 years. Her illustrations are adored for their classic beauty and vibrant, life-like images of animals, landscapes, and flourishes from cultures around the world. While Jan is most known for her children’s books, she is also an award-winning breeder of ornamental fowl (fancy chickens!). Some of her best book ideas come from favorite activities including extensive travel and exploration of the natural world, marathon training, and listening to the Boston Symphony Orchestra, where her husband is a musician.
