About The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: Follow the adventures of young Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, as their
Kansas house is swept away by a cyclone and they find themselves in a strange land called
Oz. Here she meets the Munchkins and joins the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly
Lion on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City, where lives the all-powered Wizard
of Oz.
One of the true classics of American literature, The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over four
generations. Originally published in 1900, it was the first truly American fairy tale, as
Baum crafted a wonder out of such familiar items as a cornfield scarecrow, a mechanical
woodman, and a humbug wizard who used old-fashioned hokum to express that universal theme,
"There's no place like home."
Reading level: Ages 9 and up.
