I’m so excited!
I love Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter is such a FUN character from that book!
I think that’s one reason why he gets his own holiday. He’s such a humorous character with a weird sense of logic. I think that people like celebrating that oddness about him.
Anyway, to get you warmed up for this mad character’s holiday, I thought I’d share some Mad Hatter trivia questions with you today
These questions come from various parts of the book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, because the Hatter has multiple appearances in this classic.
So grab and pen and paper and see if you can answer these “mad” questions!
