The one thing I noticed about Alice in Wonderland is that almost all of the commentary is coming from Alice herself. I enjoyed this part because coming from the mind of a child we are brought into a new world of youth. We remember things from our young, but not usually as vivid or in flying color. Alice gives us a different taste and that's what I would bring into my own storytelling.
Alice's imagination goes wild as she travels down the rabbit hole. She explains everything she sees and touches. It's incredible seeing everything that goes through her mind and it's so fast paced. She isn't afraid to say the things she's thinking in her mind, but doesn't want to say these out loud for fear of being wrong.
You can tell Alice is smart and intelligent. She brings up words and facts about the world, giving the reader insight into the main character. I like how we are able to see this side of her.
