Little
Alice in
Toyland
Once upon a time, after a tasty breakfast,
a little girl named
Alice could play at last.
So out into the garden she did go,
carrying her kitten, little
Shelby
Snow.
She had string for
Shelby to chase,
and to the end of the garden they did race.
As the kitten pounced on
the jumbly string,
Little
Alice caught a glimpse of something.
What had
Little
Alice found?
Sticking up right there out of the ground,
it was an odd lump among the pink roses, purple tulips and garden hoses.
She got on her hands and knees
and dusted off the soil carefully.
Oh, it's a book !"
Little
Alice said.
A strange big book, all rusty and red.
Alice tugged and heaved
at the book.
It popped out the ground and
she took a quick look.
The pages showed a magical map.
But she didn't know that this was a trap.
The map said
TOYLAND in tiny letters.
Alice peered close to look at it better.
As she leant in,
WHOOSH!
Little
Alice yelled!
And down and down into the
pages she fell.
Little
Alice found herself in
Toyland,
where tin soldiers played
in a marching band.
Rocking horses were rocking ahead.
What a strange place!
Little
Alice said.
A cuddy caterpillar was nearby.
Help! I'm lost!
Little
Alice cried.
Oh dear!
The caterpillar wiggled.
On a mushroom it jumped.
And then it jiggled.
I can't help you!
The
Caterpillar said,
The
Queen wants jam, she wants the best!
The
Queen?
Jam? said confused
Little
Alice,
as
Caterpillar pointed her towards
the palace.
Outside the golden palace gates,
a robot whirred,
I'm late, I'm late!
To little
Alice the robot said,
The queen needs jam for
her breakfast bread
A smart tin soldier was guarding the palace
Will you help? I'm lost!
Said lost little
Alice
Have you brought some jam?
The soldier said
And quick as a flash,
Alice nodded her head
This way please, huffed the guard.
He marched little
Alice across the yard,
towards the scary
Queen who owned the palace.
Who are you? said the
Queen to
Alice.
Do you have my jam? shouted the
Queen.
Her nose was long and
her voice was mean.
No, your majesty, said little
Alice, but I can make some in the palace
So
Alice put strawberries and sugar in a pot
She stirred it and stirred
it and stirred it a lot
Soon the jam was ready for the
Queen
It was the reddest jam
that she'd ever seen
The
Queen tried the jam with her morning toast,
she said,
Delicious, delicious the most!
And the toys jumped for joy,
Wahoo!
Hey hey!
Because the
Queen would finally let them play
May I go back now?
Little
Alice said
You may," said the
Queen, and nodded her head.
Whoosh!
Alice found herself under a tree,
back in the garden, in time for tea.
Little
Alice sat down ready to eat.
There were jam sandwiches as a treat.
Oh, I've had enough of jam, she said,
may I please have one with cheese instead?
