About the book:
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world (Wonderland) populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.
The Link with the Song:
As we can see, the book and the song describe to us the nature. Into the song, there are ideas that exist also into the story, like trees, red roses and colours. The message is completely timeless, the music is not composed to a child though. As a activity propose, the class could compare the compositions, book and story, and search the similarity between them.
What A Wonderful World, by Louis Armstrong
Author: Bob Thiele and George David Weiss
Year: 1967
I see trees of green, red roses too.
I see them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
The bright blessed day, The dark sacred night.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shaking hands, saying: "How do you do?"
They're really saying:"I love you".
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
