It is an interesting story about a girl named Alice, who follows the WhiteRabbit down a rabbit hole and finds herself in Wonderland. She not only finds the White Rabbit, but also meets other animals such as the Dormouse and theCaterpillar. During her adventure, Alice eats and drinks things that make her changein size. At last, Alice enters a garden, where she happens tosee a trial (審判). The Knave of Hearts is accused of (被指控)stealing the Queen of Hearts’ tarts (甜餡餅), while the King of Hearts is the judge.

The classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, anEnglish author, was fantastic and entertaining. It took you to a worldof fantasy. The entire storyline is so imaginative. Alice, with her pleasant personalityis attractive. It is one of the classics needed to complete your bookshelf.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum, is an enjoyableAmerican classic. What I loved most were Dorothy’s trustworthy friends, who werealways there when Dorothy needed help. Dorothy is also loved by everyone for her sweetness and honesty. If you have not read it, why don't you give yourself a treat?
