Like Caroline says in 'Wonderland by Night,' &quot;Life without Wonder? That's like dinner without dessert.&quot; Through Caroline eyes, we are able to see and appreciate the beauty and wonder that surrounds us each and every day. The audience learns, laughs, and grows along with her on her fascinating, fun-filled journey. Exploring everything from fishing to religion, the author opens our eyes to a magnificent world of magical castles and golden buildings that can be found right outside our bedroom window. A classic book for all ages!&quot; </div>
