After tumbling down the rabbit hole, Alice and Mr. Redge find themselves smack dab in the middle of the Queen of Hearts kingdom. Seeing her subjects so forlorn over her majesty’s ill-temper, the two concoct a clever croquet challenge to rid her of her crotchety ways. Can the queen learn their lesson of cooperation and good sportsmanship, or will she command that everyone go, OFF TO THEIR BEDS?!
PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This is a reimagined story based on “The Queen’s Croquet Ground” chapter in the classic, “Alice in Wonderland” story. The queen’s behavior demonstrates constant demands for perfection and poor sportsmanship. In the end, she learns lessons in cooperation, teamwork, and finding better ways of working with others.
