Send us a textIn Wonderland, nothing is ever quite what it seems, including Alice’s birthday. The White Rabbit, who promised to celebrate with her, keeps darting off in all directions. Even the Mad Hatter deflates her hopes for a special day when he un-invites her to tea—because it’s not her unbirthday. Feeling lost and forgotten, Alice wonders if anything can turn the day around—until the Cheshire Cat appears with a curious new path to follow. In a land where left is right and up is down, a day full of bummers might just bounce back into the best birthday yet.Go to the episode webpage: https://jonincharacter.com/alices-birthday-bummer/DOWNLOAD COLOR PAGE: https://bit.ly/dorktalesEP114colorpage          GRAB YOUR FREE PDF list of conversation questions for this episode: https://dorktalesstorytime.aweb.page/ep114freePDF PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: In “Alice’s Birthday Bummer,” young listeners journey through the emotional ups and downs of a birthday that doesn’t go as planned. As Alice faces disappointment, confusion, and the chaos of Wonderland, she also learns the importance of expressing her feelings, leaning on her friends, and staying open to unexpected joy. The story gently encourages emotional resilience, empathy, and the idea that a “bad day” can still hold a happy ending.IF YOU ENJOYED THIS STORY about Alice in Wonderland, you may like these episodes:Alice in Slumberland https://jonincharacter.com/alice-in-slumberland/ Jabberwock This Way https://jonincharacter.com/jabberwock-this-way/ CREDITS: This episode is a Jonincharacter production.
