Notes: 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 have been enormously influential, especially in the fantasy genre.

“How Doth the Little Crocodile” is a poem by Lewis Carroll which appears in his novel, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. It’s recited by Alice in Chapter 2. It describes a crafty crocodile which lures fish into its mouth with a welcoming smile.

How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!

  1. i have had so much trouble with the border of this puzzle…it seems as though all of my pieces are fitting together but apparentley not cause not all 4 sides are matching…can someone please tell me the amount of pieces on the sides…and on the top and bottom of the puzzle…maybe that will help me out….please respond to this comment someone….im about to pull my hair out.

    • Hi. If you click on the puzzle picture and enlarge it, you’ll see the puzzle in more detail – if yours is cut the same way as the one I did, that should help with placing the border pieces. I have counted 27 across the top and 36 down the right side (counting the top right piece both times). Hope that helps.
