Setting
  • The story takes place in Wonderland. Its a
    colorful world full of stuff you cant even
    imagine. It is inhabited by many strange
    creatures. The land is laid out like a huge
    chessboard. The time period is in the early
    1900s.

Characters
  • Alice- The 7 year old protagonist of the story.
    Alice is polite ,well raised, and interested in
    others. She sometimes makes the wrong remarks and
    upsets the creatures of Wonderland. She has
    blonde hair that shines and a blue and white
    dress.
  • Caterpillar- He is rather strict and not very
    polite or friendly but he does help Alice
    throughout the book. He is a big, blue
    caterpillar with a lot of legs.

Characters Continued
  • Cheshire Cat- He constantly grins and can
    disappear. He sometimes leaves a grin behind. He
    has a big smile and a purple striped body.
  • Mad Hatter- He occasionally is very rude and
    provokes Alice during the tea party. When he is
    called upon the Queen, he is very nervous and
    frightened. He always wore a top hat with a price
    tag on it.

Characters Continued
  • Queen of Hearts- She rules over Wonderland. She
    is violent, demanding, and has a lack of
    patience. She wears a red and black heart printed
    dress.
  • White Rabbit- He is nervous and is always in a
    hurry. However, he is confident enough about
    himself to contradict the King of Hearts. He
    wears a coat with a big stopwatch clock.

  • Alice gets stuck in Wonderland and undergoes
    changes while entrenched in the strange world.
    She hasnt found out a way to get back to her
    normal world.

    knocks over the Card Court, causing her to wake
    up and dispel the dream of Wonderland.

Your Opinion
  • I think it is a good book for all ages. It has a
    lot of descriptive words. Theres a lot of action
    and excitement. My favorite part is when Alice
    meets the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter.

Summary
  • Alice is sitting outside and spots a white
    rabbit. He was staring at his watch saying Oh
    dear, oh dear! I'm going to be late! Then he
    plopped down a rabbit hole. Alice, being the
    curious girl she is, followed the rabbit down the
    hole. She found herself lost in a land with many
    wonders. As much as Alice thought it interesting
    and trying to get along with them, she wondered
    when she would return home to her normal life or
    if she ever would. Right before she was going to
    be beheaded by the Queen, she suddenly wakes up
    from the marvelous dream she had of Wonderland.
