Alice in Wonderland, Retold in Words of One Syllable

A bright, restless girl spends a languid summer afternoon watching her sister read, wishing the pages held pictures. When a white rabbit with pink eyes darts past, frantically checking a pocket watch, she is drawn into his hurried world and tumbles down a mysterious rabbit‑hole that becomes a deep, dark well lined with bookshelves, maps and a puzzling jar labeled “Jam.” The fall seems endless, yet she lands unharmed in a long, low‑roofed hall lit by hanging lamps, its walls crowded with locked doors.

Unsure how to escape, she discovers a tiny golden key on a glass stand. The key fits only one tiny door hidden behind a curtain, opening onto a garden bursting with colorful flowers. Though the view is enchanting, her size prevents her from slipping through, and she is left wondering how she might shrink enough to explore this strange new realm. The stage is set for a whimsical quest of curiosity, cleverness, and unexpected encounters.
