 Book Description In this dazzling full-color gift edition, L.

Follow the yellow brick road with Dorothy and her friends as they travel to the Emerald City in search of the great Wizard of Oz in this new, complete and unabridged edition of the classic tale that winds its way from Kansas to faraway places and back. From the land of the Munchkins to the deadly poppy field, from encounters with ferocious Kalidahs, Winged Monkeys, and Fighting Trees to battles with the Wicked Witches of the East and West, the magic of Baum's story is beautifully reimagined through the extraordinary art of Michael Sieben.

The 411 by Maria:

A beautiful version of this timeless story perfect for grades 3-6. I found it refreshing and remember reading the story when I was a kid. The original story is much different than the movie which I had forgotten after so many years of seeing the movie.  The main characters are still there but instead of a Tin Man we have a Tin Woodsmen and the Good Witch is just a little woman with three little men who were kept in slavery by the Wicked Witch of the East.

I love the pictures throughout the book and the big bold words that break up the story. This is a perfect editing for younger kids. They will undoubtedly love the Classics after reading this.


Hopefully Handsome will be interested in reading this for his summer reading and Goddess soon after. I will follow up on his opinion after the summer.
