The Cheshire Cat

 

Eden Haiku: A bit difficult for a 8 year old but she loves to read so much and her Mom will help along I'm sure,,,

Riddle Sideways: is the Cheshire cat French?

Eden Haiku: Yes and I felt a bit sad about that: he doesn't smile, he "makes a face" and has a name that means that, I prefer a vanishing smile :)

Eden Haiku: Cheshire cat was always my favorite, even though I didn't even know Cheshire was the name of a place...

Riddle Sideways: had a Cheshire Cat in a tree on the old plot here

Eden Haiku: The sound "Chech" is quite similar to the word for cat in French: "chat".

Riddle Sideways: the cat vanished and the smile remained

Eden Haiku: Oh yes, Riddle, that was so much fun!

Eden Haiku: It's like when you almost forgot someone but their smile remains with you somehow :)

Riddle Sideways: yes, there are people forgotten except one attribute

Eden Haiku: True

Riddle Sideways: Then there are originals that Disney remade and replaced images in our memories

Riddle Sideways: most of the Alice characters look like Disney characters in memory now

Eden Haiku: On my walk yesterday (between rains), I was walking on a wooden platform that was a the level of tree leaves and it was great to notice all the small bouquets of small tender green leaves.

Adams Rubble: :)

Eden Haiku: Only saw Burton's Alice and I don't remember much...

Eden Haiku: The book comes with the original drawings by Tenniel, only they are now colorized.

Eden Haiku: I dislike the new children books with dark and bold colors....

Eden Haiku: It reminded me of our PaB anniversary mad tea party :)
