Is It Any Good?
ALICE FOR THE iPAD presents an abridged version of the Lewis Carroll classic with simplified text making the story more accessible to younger readers. But this shortening robs the tale of some of its quirkiness. Readers can skip to any page, but the app doesn't remember where the person left off, nor does it offer extras like voice-over narration or highlighted words. The book is beautifully illustrated and some pages have animations that move by tapping the screen or tilting the iPad. Highlights include being able to hurl tarts at the Queen and make Alice grow and shrink.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
