First of all, what a visually appealing book! If you love Alice in Wonderland, or beautiful drawings in general, you'll like this book. If you like puzzles, you will also like this book because there's something for everyone. Some of the puzzles are easy, some are hard, and it's all Alice in Wonderland themed. It's a very charming book!

Thank you to the author / illustrator, author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. I really like Alice in Wonderland so I was attracted to this themed collection of puzzles & games. I really loved the illustrations. There is a strong range of different types of puzzles and games inside over 200 pages. It would definitely be worth buying to have IRL.

This was a really fun and cute book full of puzzles. Perfect for lovers of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. My favorites were the word puzzles, but there are all kinds--Rebus puzzles, Word ladders, Lateral-thinking, and Zigzag puzzles.

This book is great!! I wanted to read/revise for my 10 year old. He loves the problems and how he has to think to work them out. I even had to get a pen and paper to work through some of them.

Great job!

Alice in Wonderland Puzzles is a great choice for anyone who loves Alice in Wonderland. Each puzzle is set within an adventure from the Lewis Carroll stories and is accompanied by the original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. There is a variety of puzzles that include word jumbles, zig-zag puzzles, lateral thinking and more. Answers can be found in the back of the book so readers are able to see if they are correct or not. This would be a good gift for someone who enjoys puzzles and figuring out how a raven is like a writing desk.

Special thanks to Netgalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

Puzzle books don't do really well in our library.- but I was willing to give it chance. Word puzzles were not quite what I was thinking based on cover and description. Beautiful illustrations though, and good for an Alice collector.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Alice in Wonderland Puzzles is a fantastic, interactive puzzle book all based on Alice in Wonderland. I loved the variety of puzzles within this book and had so much fun doing the puzzles. This is a great book to dip in and out of, and even better is that can do the puzzles alone or with others, too.
I lived how the book included original artwork too which made it even more interesting and aesthetically pleasing as you work through the puzzles. And how stunning is the cover! If you're an Alice in Wonderland fan like me, you'll adore this book!

Can be done alone or as a group!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So, I have never read a puzzle book before but I absolutely love doing puzzles. I also really like Alice in wonderland so this felt like the perfect way to try out a puzzle book. This was a lot of fun. I found the puzzles to be challenging yet not impossible and the solutions were often pretty interesting. I did a bunch of them with my sister because we have different strengths when it comes to puzzle-solving and it was a lot of fun to work some of the details out together. I would definitely recommend it for the fun of it as well as the aesthetic nature of the book itself.

Oh I loved this book! I am a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland so it was an absolute must for me when I saw it. I loved the format, you can pick it up and read a puzzle without too much reading and then dip into it again later for another one. It also has the lovely illustrations which just make it look so polished. I definitely recommend! Thank you #net galley

This book is such a treat for people who love Alice in Wonderland!

All the puzzles are fantastic and so well integrated with the passages and dialogues from the book. You would think that the puzzles were actually part of the original book.

I had quite an enjoyable time solving the various puzzles and riddles. Some were harder than others.

I love the fact that the original illustrations are used in this book. I’ve always loved the original illustrations from Alice in Wonderland.

Definitely a must have for Alice fans everywhere.

Thank you to the publisher, author and NetGalley for providing me with an advance reader’s copy, for my honest thoughts.

As a big Alice In Wonderland fan I found the concept of the book very intriguing. As I read it I found it curious and curiouser.

I found the book much more than the traditional puzzle books you get ,not only was there is a really good mixture of puzzles -riddles, maths, rebuses, chess- they were all presented in a way that was interesting and tied perfectly into the Alice In Wonderland vibe. The titles of the puzzles were great -Too Many Queens, A Pie Problem - very twee and clever

In particular I enjoyed the Tweedlesumb and Tweedledee sections they were funny.
Another thing I really liked was the snippets from Alice in Wonderland it was a nice touch and if you had not read the book before starting the puzzles I think it would make you want to read it.
The sketches were in a classic style which I loved, they were not overall cutesy which I feel is a better a representation of the story the image should be a bit mad hatter

I read this ARC on my way to London from Glasgow and it passed the time perfectly, it makes a great travel activity and I can imagine would be a great gift for someone who was isolating it would make the days go quick.
I was travelling with my sister and 14year niece at times I did the puzzles myself and at other times I read them out for my niece to solve which she did brilliantly, the book is good for a single person and a lot of puzzles could be used in a group setting such as a family quiz.
The vary in difficulty but I’d say children to adults can enjoy this book together or individually.

I found with some the puzzles I needed a pen and paper but most I could work out in my head. I think having a copy of Alice In Wonderland to hand would be also be handy.

I liked ebook format as you could just click to reveal the answer but sometimes a traditional book would have been better for certain puzzles.

Overall I really enjoyed this puzzle book I felt I escaped down the rabbit hole for an hour or so and it has made want to re read a favourite story from my childhood.

It’s 234 of pure escapism, get the tea and cakes ready to settle down and get puzzling

Enchanting companion to the book

Thank you for the ARC via Netgally I have given a fair and honest review

I love Alice in Wonderland. This a clever new way of reading the story. It's divided into adventures, with a puzzle at the end of each.

Sometimes the puzzle is a question. The answer is something you have to figure out from the previous adventure. Some questions are like riddles others involve math.

It can be other types of puzzles as well, including rebus puzzles, word ladders, lateral-thinking and zigzag puzzles.

I'm not very good at most puzzles, but it was still fun.

I loved the original pen-and-ink illustrations by Sir John Tenniel.

Reading through this book, a combination of the story and lots of brain teasers, I was reminded of my childhood. I would've loved this book as a kid!
