%X Sa£¿etak 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
