Dated
Most interactive books now not only read to you, but also allow you to record your own readings, this does neither.
Not what I had hoped
This is far from an exciting Ebook especially for the price and the hype. Look at Peter Rabbit or Our Choice- now they are genuinely interactive, very slick and fabulous. This one is not.
Update Please
I know this is an older app but it needs an update to fix some bugs with the moving images and such. Also, maybe through the looking glass or some extra content like background or history on the book would be great. Still a pretty cool app currently though. Thanks.
Perfect for the Alice fan
I have never reviewed anything, however I feel this app deserved a review. I remember this app being demonstrated on Oprah and all I could think was "I need to buy an iPad just so I can have this!" I am not disappointed, however I do feel this was a little more pricey than need be. For those complaining that there aren't enough interactive parts, this is comparable to a children's pop-up book which is at least twice the price and has fewer "interactive" parts. This definitely has the classic Alice feel and I highly recommend purchasing it.

Beautiful illustration and animation, but needs a reading option
First, the illustration and animation of this app are absolutely beautiful. Well done.
My daughter is 3 and cannot read it by herself yet. Can the author of this app add an option so that it would read out loud itself to children? Thanks.

Completely Unimpressed
I am an interactive art director and judging by some of the reviews I was expecting to be impressed from this app. My experience was the complete opposite and not only that I feel ripped off for the price. Don't bother.
Disappointed
I had earlier ordered Charlie Brown's Christmas and was impressed, so I ordered Alice, expecting something similar with respect to the use of presenting a magical story on the iPad. I was sadly disappointed. Alice in Wonderland is begging for an interactive magical experience for the reader and viewer--but the potential is sorely missed. Instead of magic from interactive visuals and touch pad play, the story, with illustrations, is pretty much it.
I have no doubt that someone with the imagination of Lewis Carrol will come along and make a great app out of this magical tale. It is worth waiting until that happens.

Beautiful
I have been reading the full version and I love it. Not enough animations and illustrations to distract, but enough that it enhances the story beautifully. I also love the "old styled" background for the pages.
A wonderful treat!

Disappointed
Really disappointed by this. Does not live up to the hype. Offers very little beyond the printed book. Other kids book apps put it in the shade.
Fab
Wonderful app. Very magical. Wish all ebooks were like this. Well worth the purchase
