I was looking for something on Open Library published in 1988 and there isn's a lot, but there is this. hmmm.

It doesn't work. The idea is to use this Alice in Wonderland idea to explore the 23rd psalm (I love this poem, it's beautiful and lovely). The problem is Alice goes and turns all the ideas she is studying upside down. So, instead of doing that, it is just a girl talking about the verse on the nose. She doesn't turn it upside down, so why use the Alice in Wonderland idea. It makes no sense.

The artwork is appropriate for the 23rd psalm and it's the best green farms around. I get wanting to explore a verse, but find a better way to do it that makes sense. I know Alice is beloved, but it's because everything is non-sensical, so don't use that to be sincere. Just my thoughts.

I liked it better than the two kids I read it to.
