In this episode, we first will discuss about our first story plot song "Dinah! Dinah!", and then we'll continue to see how Alice's adventure is going.



She met the Duchess again at the Queen's croquet ground and found her much more pleasant this time, and she and the Duchess exchanged thoughts about "morals". In addition, you would notice that the "word play" in their conversation was plenty. Could you spot where the word play was taking place? And do you find there did exist something that "makes sense" in this part of the story?

~ Dinah! Dinah! ~



Hey, we are thrilled to present our new plot song Dinah! Dinah! to Wowospot Kids Podcast fans today!



This song is about Alice's feelings of loneliness while she is in the Wonderland where she encounters a variety of strange things and weird characters. After she falls into the rabbit hole, trapped in a dark and unknown fantasy world, none of the places and living creatures seem to be normal or friendly. She is constantly facing challenges: her body size keeps changing; she is not able to get the help she needs; she makes no friends. And, she is REALLY wishing her cat Dinah could be with her!

The song portrays Alice's delicate emotions about missing her cat Dinah.

Do you have a cat that you love very much? If you were Alice who is away from home, would you miss your cat?

In an effort to make this story feel more tangible we are hoping to create vivid pictures in your mind thorugh lyrics and music. We are sure you will love it :-)

The sheet music of this song will be posted on our website. Please follow us to get notifications!
