Alice is bored and sleepy. Then she sees a white rabbit in a waistcoat, carrying a pocket watch. She follows him down a rabbit hole, into a magical world where very strange things happen. Wonderland is never boring – bur how can Alice get home again? The Express Publishing Showtime Readers is a brand new series of books at four levels, which introduce students to classic children/s stories in English, using a unique approach with special emphasis on dramatisation. Students first enjoy the story as a reading text in several two-page episodes with beautiful illustrations. Each episode is accompanied by language activities to help comprehension and consolidate learning. The same story is then brought to life as a complete musical play which students can perform at the end of the school year.
