Get lost in this magical world full of beasts — both familiar and fantastical — with your children while reading and re-reading Jabberwocky year after year.

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, and the mom raths outgrabe.

Lewis Carroll’s most iconic seemingly nonsensical poem is brought to life like never before with award-winning illustrator Charles Santore’s stunning renditions of a brave warrior who is on a mission to slay the dastardly Jabberwock. Get lost in this magical world full of beasts (both familiar and fantastical) with your children while reading and re-reading Jabberwocky year after year.

Genre:

  • "'Tis a brillig sendoff; fans of all things toothy and terrifying will gyre and gimble in its wabe."
    Kirkus Reviews, starred review
  • "The skillful use of color, light, and shadow makes the setting look otherworldly and the dramatic scenes all the more powerful. A vivid interpretation of the classic poem."
    Booklist
  • "For those who like their nonsense epic and just a bit gory, the large scale scenes of glowering creatures and a triumphant warrior give new life to the poem."
    School Library Journal
