Alice in Wonderland ... translation questions

I am reading "Alicia en el País de las Maravillas" by Lewis Carroll and translating it back into English. I would appreciate any corrections/improvements to the translations ... only for my own learning ... not to be used anywhere else.

Alicia estaba junto a su hermana, quien leía un libro, muy aburrida, pues el libro no tenía dibujos ni diálogos.
..... Alice was "beside" her sister, who was reading a book, "she was really bored because the book did not have" pictrures or conversations.

Hacía mucho calor, las hermanas estaban junto a un estanque intentando refrescarse. El calor le daba sueño a Alicia, pensaba en ir a juntar magaritas, cuando vio un Conejo Blanco.
..... It was very hot. The sisters were beside a pond intending to cool off. The heat gave Alicia  sleepiness"  ... she was thinking about going to gather some lilys, when she saw a White Rabbit.

Cuando Alicia estaba cerca, él (Conejo Blanco) dio la vuelta en una esquina. Estaba en una sala, había lámparas colgantes y muchas puertas, pero todas cerradas.
..... When Alice was near, the White Rabbit turned into a corner. It was a room where there were hanging lamps and many doors, but all were closed.

En una mesa de cristal estaba una llave dorada. La probó en todas las puertas. La llave era muy grande y a veces chica y no abría ninguna, sólo abrió en otra puerta más chica.
..... On a glass table was a golden key. She tried it in all the doors. The key was sometimes very big and sometimes small and it did not open any of them, it only opened a "smallest" door.

La puertita daba a un sitio que era como la cueva de un animalito y llevaba a un hermoso jardín. Pero ella era muy grande, de ningún modo podía pasar.
..... The little door opened into a place that was like the cave of a small animal and led to  a beautiful garden. But she was very big, there was no way she could pass through.

Confusing phrase: daba a un sitio = it means that the door led to a place  or opened into also =)
