Summary

Through the Looking Glass is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Although it makes no reference to the events in the earlier book, the themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May, on Alice's birthday (May 4), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on November 4 (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.

They tell him that there’s not enough room for all of them, and Earl leaves, with his tail proudly arched. Earl goes to the next park over, which is a dog park with no trees. There, the dogs mercilessly chase Earl. He finds no comfort when his nose is stung by a bee, and when he shivers alone in the rain. Before long, Earl has no fight left in him. He longs for his old park, but will the other squirrels give him a second chance? Listen now and find out!Story #2: “Pen Pals.” Dylan the squirrel wanted to meet a nice doe, but he was shy.

Mrs. Meddler suggests that Dylan break the ice by first writing to the doe. That’s how Dylan and the doe become pen pals. When it is time for them to meet face to face, the doe comes up with a clever way to test Dylan’s character and determine whether he is the right squirrel for her. What is the test? And does Dylan pass? Listen now and find out!
