If you are fond of a variety of veiwpoints and differences of perspective, this is a collection for you. Though familiar and similar, none of the stories can be or should be read together. A total of 17 tales, the major theme in abut half of them is of introspection, especially the last one, "A Pigs Tale", just as one would expect from Alice and her mad companions. This could be given to an older child, but in such a case, I would warn against "Hollywood Squares" which features language AND casual sleeping around, of which there isn't much detail, but enough that it would be innapropriate. Overall and underall, if you have a free afternoon, I would strongly suggest this book.
