Hi girls and boys!
It's time for chapter 2 of Cool School's Through the Looking Glass!
With me, Ms. Booksy!
In chapter 1, Alice had gone through the other side of the mirror,
a.k.a. the looking glass.
Let's see what she's up to now!
Chapter 2, let's go!
Hey!
This is kind of like Wonderland!
I just floated like a feather into this lovely--
but giant--flower garden!
And things that don't usually talk and walk
are talking and walking!
I better not eat any weird cookies!
Or follow any rabbits...
Or, pick any flowers!
What??
I said: do not pick the flowers!
Are you really a flower?
Yes I am!
And I prefer not to be picked!
Oh, of course! I would never!
May I ask: how did you learn to talk?
How did YOU learn to talk?
I suppose my parents taught me...
I don't really remember!
I was just a baby!
Can all flowers talk?
Yeah! But we usually wait until spoken to.
What kind of flower are you?
I'm not a flower!
Your petals are so strange...
This is my hair...
And look! She has two stems!
How odd!
BOOKSY: Alice didn't like being made fun of,
so she changed the subject.
Do any other plants talk?
The tree says "bow wow."
That's why it's branches are called bows!
...Oh!
You didn't know that?
Stop teasing our guest!
They know I can't reach them.
If I could, I would bop them and pull their petals!
Allow me!
If you don't be quiet, I'll pick you!
Aaahh!
BOOKSY: Alice tried to change the subject AGAIN, to something nicer than daisy pulling.
How is it that you can all talk to well?
I've been in many gardens before,
but, none of the flowers could talk!
Put your hands down and feel the ground!
Then, you'll know why.
Okay!
It's very hard!
But, I don't see how that has to do with anything!
In most gardens, they make the flowerbeds too soft,
so the flowers all fall asleep.
Oh! I would've never thought of that.
Well, you don't look very smart...
I never saw a flower that looks sillier!
Enough!
I'm sorry, they've never seen anything like you...
But, that's not excuse to be rude!
Definitely not!
So if they've never seen anything like me, does that mean...
I'm the only person around here?
Well, there is ONE other thing in the garden that can move around like you...
She's very red, like a rose!
I think I'll go look for her,
maybe she could show me around.
Good luck!
BOOKSY: Alice said goodbye and began to walk away
when she heard a veeery strange--
Eeeek!
--very tiny sound!
What's that?
It sounds like it's coming from below my feet!
Eeeek!
Don't you see that sign??
"Keep off the grass"??
Yeah!
Step off, big foot!
Oh, I'm sorry!
BOOKSY: Alice hopped off the grass and onto the stone path.
I guess I'll have to be careful around here!
... stones don't have feelings, do they?
No, nor wood.
Okay, thanks!
I'll just stick to the stones!
Bye!
Bow wow!
Alice walked along the path
looking for the red girl that Tiger Lily had described.
There she is!
Yoo-hoo!
Hello??
Call me your majesty!!
I'm sorry, your majesty!
Oh! You're the Red Queen, aren't you?
You were so tiny before?
Don't you remember when I held you in my hand?
You're talking nonsense!
And, you should curtsey when you see a queen!!
Right... um...
Your majesty,
I was wondering if you could tell me how to get up that hill?
Come with me!
BOOKSY: The Queen began to run, and Alice followed!
But soon she realized they were just running in circles!
Faster, faster!
Faster... Faster!
I'm getting dizzy!!
Faster!
Aaaaand...
Stop.
Ugh
I've never felt so dizzy,
and wobbly,
and woooah!
Are you thirsty?
Here, have a cookie!
BOOKSY: Alice took the cookie, just to be polite,
even though she knew it would only make her thirstier...
Better?
Nnnn... I'm still thirsty, but...
Hey!
We're on a hilltop!
And look!
The land is separated into perfect squares!
Just like a chessboard.
I wanna play!
Just move from square to square.
If you get lost, ask a knight for help.
And if you see the king, be sure to curtsy!
I will, thanks!
BOOKSY: And just like that, the Red Queen was gone!
As if she had been picked up and placed elsewhere...
I forgot to ask if she found her kitten!
Oh well! Time to go play!
And that's the end of chapter 2, kids!
