Following a rabbit with a pocket watch, Alice tumbles into a place where food changes her size and ordinary questions lead to bewildering arguments. She tries to apply the lessons and manners she knows to creatures who follow rules of their own. A tea party, a disappearing cat, and the Queen of Hearts's court make finding her way through Wonderland increasingly difficult.

Expected to sing at her parents' garden party, Alice slips away rather than face the guests. Following a white rabbit takes her into a world of bewildering etiquette, hostile royalty and conversations that refuse to make sense. Encounters with its eccentric inhabitants repeatedly put her on the spot, challenging the timid girl to speak up before she can find her way home.
