книга "BookWorm (BKWM) Level 3 Through the Looking Glass" — Carroll LewisРосс относится к своему материалу благоговейно, ограничивая болтливость Кэрролла, но редко меняя его слова. Полноцветные картины безукоризненного Росса, близки к содержанию оригинала, с некоторыми дополнительными штрихами. Данная версия имеет современный вид с немного негабаритными страницами и чувством юмора. Хотя иногда можно пропустить "поток сознания" в стиле квинтэссенции Труляля и Траляля, конечно Росс сделал замечательную работу по сохранению духа шедевра для младшего потомства.
Bookworms 3. Through the Looking Glass.
Grade 3-5-An abridgement of the classic story that makes it more accessible to young readers, while giving them a good taste of the original. Ross treats his material reverently, abridging Carroll's chattiness, but seldom changing his words. The full-color cartoons are unmistakably Ross's, but they stick closely to the composition and content of Tenniel's original black-and-white drawings, with some additional pictures (the nonsense of the last banquet, for instance, proves irresistible). This version has a modern air with the slightly oversized pages and sly, humorous artwork that fits the illogical craziness of the story surprisingly well. This con-artist Walrus is unforgettable, and the empty oyster shells with feet sticking straight up in the air are most memorable. Although one may occasionally miss the flowing, stream-of-consciousness style of Carroll or Tenniel's quintessential Tweedledee and Tweedledum, certainly Ross has done an admirable job of preserving the spirit of the masterpiece for the younger set.
