In this episode, Alice met two new characters, the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon! The Mock Turtle was crying telling his story, and the Gryphon was not unfriendly but just a bit harsh on Alice. The three had a very interesting and witty conversation. Pay attention to some thoughts about mathematics and word games, such is the author Lewis Carroll's specialty!

What does Alice think about when she gets frustrated in the Wonderland? We've just published our first story plot song Dinah! Dinah! in our special episode! We are embracing music and lyrics right now in our studio to bring the story Alice in Wonderland to life. Don't miss out!

In this episode, we first will discuss about our first story plot song "Dinah! Dinah!", and then we'll continue to see how Alice's adventure is going.

She met the Duchess again at the Queen's croquet ground and found her much more pleasant this time, and she and the Duchess exchanged thoughts about "morals". In addition, you would notice that the "word play" in their conversation was plenty. Could you spot where the word play was taking place? And do you find there did exist something that "makes sense" in this part of the story?

~ Dinah! Dinah! ~

Hey, we are thrilled to present our new plot song Dinah! Dinah! to Wowospot Kids Podcast fans today!

This song is about Alice's feelings of loneliness while she is in the Wonderland where she encounters a variety of strange things and weird characters. After she falls into the rabbit hole, trapped in a dark and unknown fantasy world, none of the places and living creatures seem to be normal or friendly. She is constantly facing challenges: her body size keeps changing; she is not able to get the help she needs; she makes no friends. And, she is REALLY wishing her cat Dinah could be with her!

The song portrays Alice's delicate emotions about missing her cat Dinah.

Do you have a cat that you love very much? If you were Alice who is away from home, would you miss your cat?

In an effort to make this story feel more tangible we are hoping to create vivid pictures in your mind thorugh lyrics and music. We are sure you will love it :-)

The sheet music of this song will be posted on our website. Please follow us to get notifications!

Dear Wowospot Kids Podcast fans:

Wowospot Kids Podcast is thrilled to have started producing plot songs. As we continue to tell the story of Alice in Wonderland by reciting the original literature written by Lewis Carroll, we love to see this story come to life in multi media forms. Including music in the story telling makes the story feel more dimensional, animated, and fun! We are now producing two plot songs: "Alice and Her Cat Dinah" and "The Mad Tea-Party". We can't wait to share with you! We further have plans to create special episodes talking about our plot songs including the inspirations, the production process and even a bit of harmony in the music making. Interested?

The sleepy Dormouse was pinched to tell a story now. While he was telling the story of three sisters living in the bottom of a well, Alice interrupted many times. Alice did not believe the three sisteres could possibly live in a well and her curiosity bothered the Dormouse, the March Hare and the Hatter. Frustrated, Alice finally left the tea party. Notice when the Dormouse once said the three sisters were "well in", which meant they were settling very comfortably in a "well". Here we learn that the word "well" has two meanings. What are they?

Alice met the March Hare, the Hatter and the Dormouse in this "mad" tea party in front of the house in the garden and had very queer converstion with them! The Dormouse was always sleepy, the March Hare and the Hatter were not welcoming Alice; and what is more, the time here stays the same! See how the March Hare changed the lyrics of "twinkle twinkle little star" and how the Hatter explained the logics of "Time".

Also, in this episode, we are featuring our theme song "Alice is Falling" with lyrics and vocal, composed by Lisa Ruping Cheng and produced by Wowospot Kids Podcast.

Alice caught the baby with some difficulty as it was a queer shaped little creature, and held out its arms and legs in all directions, “just like a star-fish,” thought Alice. The poor little thing was snorting like a steam-engine when she caught it and kept doubling itself up and straightening itself out again so…

Alice struggled to make herself big to her normal size after eating the mushroom the Caterpillar suggested, but now she spotted a small house in the beautiful garden and was fascinated by it. She decided to make herself small again in order to check the small house out!

"For a minute or two she stood looking at the house, and wondering what to do next, when suddenly a footman in livery came running out of the wood- and rapped loudly at the door with his knuckles. It was opened by another footman in livery, with a round face, and large eyes like a frog; and both footmen, Alice noticed had powdered hair that curled all over their heads. She felt very curious to know what it was all about, and crept a little way out of the wood to listen...."
