There are a number of oddities in my collection. One such is the "Giant 3-D Fairy Tale Book :Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". This is an edition aimed squarely at very young children with a hrd cover and four stiff card pages. The text is very stripped down and illustrations that consist of photographs of posed puppets. No individual credit is given though the photography is credited to Rose Art Studios.
The cover is also unusual. It's a type of 3D picture that was common some years ago, the ones where you get a slightly blurred image covered by a piece of plastic that is rough to the touch; peculiar, but quite effective.
In the story Alice picks up the tiny fan and gloves and starts to fan herself. The magical effect of this is to shrink her again, something she doesn't notice until she finds that she can now put on the gloves. Hastily she drops the fan and stops shrinking but is now so small that the tears she cried as a giant have formed a pool big enough for her to fall into. (It's best not to dwell on the mathematics of this!) In the pool she meets lots of other creatures swimming around.

Do you have the Tove Jansson illustrations?
I do. And they'll be cropping up sometime soon. :)
