Beautiful yet (still) Condensed; update is much more stable
Gorgeously designed with a layout that compliments the original drawings, many of which have been animated. Much of the text, alas, has been excluded. The update did fix the crashiness and added some new animations in the already animated pages, but no new animated pages, and still no Lobster Quadrille or "You Grow Old, Father William." Even with these problems - and the steepish price tag - the app is so pretty and cleverly illustrated that I gave it 4 out of 5. Alice fans and those who have to amuse kids and fussy adults will be glad to have it on hand.

Ground-breaking creation
This treatment of "Alice in Wonderland" is a beautiful creation. It is providing an original use of iPad technical possibilities which will inspire other marvelous works and will help to define a whole new world of literary presentation. I'm delighted to see this new world unfolding right before my eyes. I have one small aesthetic quibble which in no way subtracts from my enthusiasm. I would wish to have the navigation elements (arrows and index icon) less obtrusive. (Everybody's a critic, eh?)

Abridged
A great idea and some beautiful execution. I'm disappointed that the text is abridged, and will probably not share this with the kids until we've read the original. I hope future updates will include better navigation (arrows are slow, cat-index doesn't work very well for me?) and maybe smoother animations and more variety. And a couple of typos, but that should be easy to fix. Would be nice to be able to hide the arrows and just tap the sides, so they don't obscure the pretty pictures. Will be worth $9 with these updates!

Very Creative!
This is what the iPad is all about. The story is brought to life in a whole new way. You've got to try it!
Beautiful
Wow. Gorgeous app. This is a whole new level for reading books. Of course children eat this up. But you'll be surprised how interested adults are :)
Job well done!

This app is absolutely lovely! A great way to keep my kindergartener interested in learning to read:)
