  1. Chapter 2

    The Pool of Tears

    Alice shrinks again, falls into the pool of her own tears, meets the Mouse, Duck, Dodo, and other birds, joins the strange race that dries everyone off, accidentally frightens them away by talking about Dinah, and is then mistaken for Mary Ann by the returning White Rabbit.

  2. Chapter 3

    The White Rabbit’s House

    The White Rabbit mistakes Alice for his housemaid Mary Ann and sends her inside for his gloves, where a sip from a little bottle leaves her growing until she fills the whole house. The animals toss in cakes to shrink her, she escapes into the trees, dodges an enormous puppy, and comes at last to a towering mushroom.

    Advice from a Caterpillar

    Alice meets the Caterpillar atop an enormous mushroom, learns that its two sides can change her size, stretches high above the treetops, startles a nesting bird, and experiments with careful bites until she is herself again and ready to continue toward the little house ahead.

    Who Stole the Tarts?
