Commonlit answers

In "Alice in Wonderland", Carroll approaches children's thinking in an ironic, disorderly, confused and curious way, which is usually present in all children, perhaps for this reason his book was and is still so accepted by them today.

Carroll approaches this point of view through a girl on a mind-blowing and funny adventure, in the same way that children create the narratives of their games. These adventures may have little meaning, but they are extremely fun, which is the best interest of children, having fun, playing, participating in stimulating situations and making new friends, just like Alice.
