Parent notes
This is a clean, classic work of children's literature with no sexual content or profanity. Parent concerns: Nonsense and surrealism; Mild slapstick violence (Queen of Hearts) Romance/sexual content: There is no romantic or sexual content in this book. Language: No profanity or vulgar language. Violence: The Queen of Hearts frequently shouts 'Off with their heads!', but no executions actually take place. There is some mild slapstick humor. Substances: Characters consume magical food and drink to change size, but these are not portrayed as real-world substances. The Caterpillar smokes a hookah, which is a cultural/historical depiction. Worldview themes: Whimsy and Nonsense, Logic vs. Chaos
