The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

The book I read is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It is about a little girl
and her dog who came from her home by [way of] a twister to a place called
the Land of Oz.

There were four witches. One from the North, one from the South, one
from the East and one from the West. One of those witches is dead...read the book
to find out which one!

Dortothy meets these people in Oz, but they're not ordinary people, they
are Winkies. They told her how she could get back home but she has to go to the
Great and Terrible Oz. The next morning she goes looking for Oz and on her way she meets a scarecrow, tin woodsman, and a lion. Read the book to see what happens next!

Thanks to Adarian for telling us about this book! The book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is quite different from the movie that you may have seen. Dorothy has many adventures and you'll meet many interesting characters as you follow her along the road to Oz. I agree w/Adarian that you should give it a try!We have the entire OZ series in our library, come check one out for yourself!

This book tells the story of one of my childhood favorite movies! It's good to hear that kids today are still interested in those good classic tales of good vs. evil! Loved the review Adarian :)

The original book is a VERY good book. Like Ms. Gates, the movie was a childhood favorite of mine. I would recommend this book to anyone. If you liked this book, look for a book called "Wicked" (I forget the author) which tells the story from the witch’s perspective.

Adarian,

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the book. It takes me way back (I do mean way back too). I remember watching the movie and being terrified but much later read the book and loved it. I'm glad to see it is still a favorite.
