Reading Part A:
Down the Rabbit-Hole
I think I would have a parent reading a story to the little girl named Alice. I don't think they way this story opens is all that appealing. I would make the child of a younger age as well with a vivid imagination. The story would include the rabbit that was talking and saying he was going to be late.
I think I would write a story kind of resembling Beauty and the Beast. Where whatever Alice runs into — supposedly intimate objects at first — they will talk back to her telling her she shouldn't be as curious as she is.
The bottle she finds would say 'Don't Drink Me,' because we all know that children are notorious for doing the opposite of what they're told to do or not do. After Alice drinks it, she begins to speak in different languages. This is where the story would start to really differ from the original Alice in Wonderland stories.
Advice from a Caterpillar

The caterpillar can talk, but he doesn't smoke. Instead he talks and if starts talking very emotionally, candy starts falling from his eyes. I would take the idea from the movie Inside Out. As he talks, he gets emotional and then candy starts coming out of his eyes. Alice wants to eat all of it. When she does though she starts laughing. The candy has magical powers in it that make anyone happy and laugh. But it also makes people unaware of what is going on around them. So the caterpillar knowing Alice is under the influence of the eye candy, tries to lure her into his cave so that he can eat her. But when that happens, the rabbits comes by and snaps Alice out of her trance but still says that he's late for a very important date.
