Suspense is not Alice’s cup of tea.

Try The Wizard of Oz, Mom. It worked for me…

My mom says there was a book that, when i was about 2, she would “read” from the front seat of the car, while I turned the pages in the back seat.

Kids that age are unremittingly logical. Why is she wearing a party dress?

Alice will learn to love the Classics, I feel confident.

How could anyone not love Alice…, Alice?

“Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting.” Madeline summed up the entire comic in the first line.

I love this kid.
