Alice in Wonderland– A gift to children across the Globe

This book is very close to my heart and to kids across the globe. I fondly remember, when I was in the second standard, Alice in Wonderland was introduced to us as a summer vacation reading exercise. Initially, I felt it was a pain to read the entire novel because we were used to reading short stories.

Kids below the age of 8, don’t enjoy long reading exercises. As they have a short attention span, and they enjoy doing everything at once. That’s why children love when their parents read them short bedtime stories.

However, when a child indulges in reading, he struggles. And when he struggles he reads and re-reads it. Which eventually, captivates his interest and enriches his grammar and vocabulary. Because when we learn something new, like a new word. It feels like a feat, like a small part of your brain, has enlightened.

The same thing happened to me when I re-read it. Though small and unaware of such fictional stories, novels, and European culture. I was thrilled to read and invest my time in it. Also, the black and white pictures printed in the novel offered a pictorial view of the fantasy created by the author.

The old memories of sitting in my room, in my little blue and white fibre chair in front of my father, who used to keep his watchful eyes on us, refreshes my memories. And so it does to many children all around the world.
