Summary: A good book
Comment: This book is a wonderful childrens' classic, though for adults it might seem a little bit too fanciful. The same characters from the movie are in it (Dorothy, Glinda, the Wizard of Oz) but don't be surprised if you notice a lot of details in the book that aren't in the movie- they're both completely different. The book is complicated , and contains a lot of elements that are magical in nature, not to mention all the different races (there's even one made out of china!). I don't think I'd recommend it to a smaller child, but eight, nine, ten year olds would LOVE it.

Summary: The Wondeful Wizard of Oz by Ryan Widner
Comment: This is a wonderful book by the famous author, L. Frank Baum. Dorothy gets whisked away into a strange land where most of it is pleasant, but the other half of this strange land is dark and creepy. Dorothy must follow the Yellow Brick Road to get to the City of Emeralds to ask the great and powerful Wizard of Oz to help her get back to Kansas. On the way she meets three new friends who come with her to Oz in need of something. The Scarecrow wants some brains, the Tin Woodman wants a heart, and the Cowardly Lion wants some courage. They travel a long way and meet many dangers including the Kalidahs, the Deadly Poppy Field, the Wicked Witch of the West's Castle, and the Hammerheads. But they find ways to get across these obstacles. Their wishes get granted; in a funny way that is. Dorothy doesn't get her wish granted by the Wizard, Glinda, the Good Witch of the South, grants her wish with Dorothy's silver shoes. Read this book and it is sure to make you laugh, make you cry, and even at some parts fill you with mystery and horror!

Summary: beautiful and new
Comment: I have to say Lizbeth Zwerger has made a wonderful new interpretation of Oz. I like her Dorothy with short cropped hair, her catlike cowardly lion, and her valient tin woodman. She has given wind swept pictures with delightful characters. My only quam is her fat and boring scarecrow, who lacks the whismy of Hague, Santore, and Denslow. She could have also made more green for the emerald city but the addition of green glasses made it wonderful and fun. Her pictures are not as bold as Charles Santore, but they are unusual and beautiful and worth a look.
