Geoff:
You're splitting hairs. In the UK, the book is almost universally known as
"Alice in  Wonderland".

I was given a copy by my grandmother when I was about six; I remember 
the book very clearly and although it had the full title on the cover, I 
have never called it anything other than the abbreviated name,

If you intend to go in for pedantry, the second book is actually called 
"Through the looking glass and what Alice found  there",."

My point is, as others have also said, that if the same title as the earlier 
book or film is used again, the impression is created that it is a remake, 
which apparently it isn't.
