In this episode of Once Upon a Storytime Podcast, we continue Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll with Chapter 3, “A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale,” where Alice and her curious new companions search for a most unusual way to get dry.
Join Alice, the Mouse, the Dodo, and a peculiar gathering of birds and animals as they take part in a wonderfully confusing Caucus-race—with no starting line, no finish line, and seemingly no rules at all. When the race finally ends, everyone is declared a winner, and Alice finds herself handing out prizes before settling down to hear the Mouse’s very long and curious tale.
Filled with playful word games, absurd logic, unusual characters, and plenty of Wonderland nonsense, this chapter reminds us that in Wonderland even something as simple as getting dry can turn into an adventure all its own.
