Abstract
This paper is a case study of two children’s responses to Lewis Carroll’s and John Tenniel’s Alice books. Their encounters with the stories were recorded for a period of eleven years. The thoughts and concerns inspired by the books demonstrate the children’s interpretive abilities as they sometimes raise serious philosophical issues. Based on the collected data it is argued that the children’s understanding and philosophical ability can be revealed in their response to literature. The findings support the notion that children’s capacity for abstract thinking should not be underestimated.
