Author: Lewis Carroll / Year: 1832-1898 / Genre: 6-9 yrs. Through the Looking-Glass takes Alice through the mirror hanging on her nursery wall into a realm beyond. Here she finds a
mirror image of her own world, but with everything reversed. Books with printing that can only be read when held up to a
mirror, animated chess-pieces, memorable characters from nursery-rhymes like Humpty Dumpty, The Lion and the Unicorn,
Tweedledum and Tweedledee and a host of strange creatures with even stranger names like the Jabberwock and the
Bandersnatch. The Red Queen, the White Queen and the White Knight are other characters who populate the looking-glass
world. Poems like Jabberwocky explore the limits of language, while the Walrus and the Carpenter are simply hilarious.
