Mysha,
It teaches children the power of personal imagination first and foremost.

Then there are explicit lessons such as;
1. It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then. Lesson: Don't try to go back to the person you once were or cling to the past. Instead, grow and change, and become an even better version of you in the process.

You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are. Lesson: You have to be a little bit crazy to make it in this world! Some of the happiest people embrace their own eccentricities, and don't judge others for not being "normal."

There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I'll write one. Lesson: Each of us has a story to tell, and learning to value our experiences, feelings skills is an important step towards self-fulfillment—whether you write your own memoir or not!

Begin at the beginning, and go on till you come to the end: then stop. Lesson: Every great journey begins with a small step. You'll know when you've reached the end, of a project, relationship or other journey, when you get there!

Everything's got a moral. If only you can find it. Lesson: We have something to learn from virtually every experience of our lives, even the most difficult ones. When you come out the other side of a difficult period, you'll look back and see how much you learned and grew from it.

She generally gave herself very good advice, though she very seldom followed it. Lesson: How many times have you given others advice you wish you would take yourself? We must listen to both our hearts and our heads in order to make the right decisions—especially the tough decisions of life.


Meaning is ultimately in the mind of the beholder. What would you make of the quote "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

It requires your own imagination just like examining your own life.
"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle."


"I don't think..." THEN don't talk!

Now I can't really read so I never read Alice in Wonderland, but I can remember cartoons.
