If you delighted in the clever puns and witty banter between Milo and the inhabitants of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis, you'll find Alice's Adventures in Wonderland just as enchanting. Join Alice as she navigates a world where logic is turned upside down and every conversation is a riddle, from her meetings with the Mad Hatter to the Cheshire Cat's enigmatic advice.
If you enjoyed watching Milo transform from a bored, apathetic boy into a resourceful and courageous adventurer, you'll love following Coraline as she faces her fears and discovers her own bravery in a mysterious and unsettling alternate world behind a secret door.
If Milo’s mission to rescue Rhyme and Reason and restore balance to the Kingdom of Wisdom drew you in, you’ll be swept up by Dorothy’s quest to reach the Emerald City. Along the way, she gathers companions and overcomes whimsical obstacles, all while never losing sight of her goal to return home.
If you appreciated the way The Phantom Tollbooth uses its fantastical lands to represent abstract concepts like Doldrums or Conclusions, you’ll love Haroun and the Sea of Stories, where the narrative is a vibrant allegory about storytelling, language, and the importance of imagination.
If you were charmed by the whimsical logic and playful magic of Milo’s journey—where words and numbers come to life—you'll enjoy the misadventures of four siblings who discover a magic coin that grants wishes, but only by half. Their attempts to make the coin work properly lead to comic mishaps and delightful surprises.
