A Reading Bug Adventure with Original Songs Part 1 of 2. Follow the White Rabbit down the hole as Lauren and the Reading Bug tumble into the magic book bag for a journey to the curious, nonsensical world of Wonderland! In this tea-riffic adventure, you'll discover what happens when a grinning Cheshire Cat points the way down two mysterious paths - and a Mad Hatter's tea party turns into a quest to help a new friend in need. From pocket-watch-carrying rabbits to hedgehog croquet balls and flamingo mallets, Wonderland is every bit as wacky as you'd imagine. But when the Queen of Hearts threatens to unleash her "Off with their heads!" fury on poor Alice, our adventurers have to decide: turn back home, or stand bravely beside a new friend? Grab your teacup and join us for a topsy-turvy trip full of music, riddles, and wonderfully mad surprises.
