The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Based on the 1900 novel by L. Frank Baum, retold by Sean Lee for ages 6–9
Ages 6–9, 72 pages
A whirlwind carries Dorothy and Toto from Kansas to the magical Land of Oz, where three new friends join her on the yellow brick road to find the Wizard and a way home.
One gray afternoon, a cyclone lifts Dorothy’s little farmhouse, with Dorothy and her dog Toto inside, and sets it down in the bright Land of Oz. To get home to Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, Dorothy must follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City and ask the great Wizard for help.
On the way she meets a Scarecrow who wants brains, a Tin Woodman who wants a heart and a Cowardly Lion who wants courage. Together they cross a dark forest, a rushing river and a field of sleepy poppies, face the Wicked Witch of the West, and learn that each of them already had what they were looking for. A complete retelling of L. Frank Baum’s original book, silver shoes and all, for ages 6–9, with an illustration on every page.
