Alice follows a waistcoat-wearing rabbit down a hole and the book never quite lands back on solid ground again, which is the joke and the pleasure of it. Lewis Carroll's nonsense rewards reading aloud especially, since the wordplay and the White Rabbit's fussing come alive far more in voice than on the page.
