Wonderful Value
I bought this book for my 3 year old Niece and have heard nothing but great things from her parents and grandparents about the quality of the book, how re-readable and adored it is. The prettiest pop-up book I've ever seen - at this price or any other. It's a great value, no need to hesitate to buy it.

"Nothing Is Ever Lost & Wonders Never Cease"
Fifty - two years after Oz author and illustrator John R. Neill's death, The Runaway In Oz at last saw print for the first time in 1995. Neill had authored and illustrated one classic in the Oz chronicle, 1940's The Wonder City Of Oz, though his two books that followed, The Scalawagons In Oz (1941) and Lucky Bucky In Oz (1942), both suffered from weak plots, convoluted storytelling, and poor ...

Beautifully Illustrated Heirloom Edition of The Wizard of Oz
Here's a trivia question for you. When Dorothy killed the Wicked Witch of the West by dropping her house on the witch, was the witch wearing (a) ruby slippers? (b) silver shoes? (c) both? If you answered "both," you have the correct answer. L. Frank Baum's original story (found in this book) has magical silver shoes in it. The movie version of the story, starring Judy Garland as Dorothy, ...

THIS IS A CLASSIC!
The Wonderful World of Oz by the Colonial Radio Theater is, well . . . wonderful! I remember reading these books as a child and listening to these tapes was like visiting with long lost friends. This is not the MGM movie - it's better! The 10 cassette tape set allows us to travel with Dorothy and her friends through the first five Oz books. The stories faithfully follow L Frank Baum's ...

IDW Publishing, 2006

Enthusiastically recommended reading for ages 8 to 80
L. Frank Baum's delightful Oz books have entertained every generation of readers, young and old alike, since they first appeared more than half a century ago. Indeed, so popular was the world of Oz and its myriad of colorful characters, that after his death other writers took up the task of creating more stories set in that colorful land over the rainbow. Now Eric Shanower has imaginatively ...

The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus

L. Frank Baum

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2003

Wonderful Christmas Classic
In this Book L. Frank Baum seeks to explain the origins of Santa Claus to children and he succeeds wonderfully. I read this book when I was much younger and really treasure the talent Baum has to tell a tale and explain where Santa Claus comes from and why he delivers those toys. Baum plays with traditional Santa myths as with most tellings Santa is an orphan or foundling adopted by others. Here ...

Counterpoint, 2008

Hysterically Funny and Deeply Disturbing
The problem with illustrating a classic with an expired copyright is that the book can get lost in the shuffle, especially if it's The Wizard of Oz or Alice in Wonderland. Every time a new edition of The Wizard comes out, there's about a 75% chance that I'll pass on it. Every time I do buy one I think, well, this will probably be the end of it. And then a new edition comes out--like this one. ...

Robert Frederick, 1995

The Border Between Reality and Clever Clever Land
This is a short fabulous story in the powerfully beautiful Hargreaves Mr Men & Little Miss series. What happens to Mr Clever when he passes beyond the boundary of his Cleverland? He finds for all his cleverness, he has little practical knowledge. A friend of mine said to me that this is similar to college graduates who, after leaving university, find little practical application for all their ...

Hungry Tiger Press, 2005

Excellent addition to the Oz Mythos
A sequel to Einhorn's own Paradox in Oz , this is the story of a sorceress and her son who live in a Living House, a magical home that is, itself, alive -- and so is everything in it. Ozma, long ago, passed a decree that the use of magic was unlawful for anyone but herself, Glinda and the Wizard. When Buddy's mother, Mordra, is found to be practicing magic, she is arrested and brought to the ...

A Great Way to Practice Spanish for an Oz Lover
My daughter is an OZ-junky. She got hooked as a little girl and has read every Oz book available. Now she is in 7th grade and has been taking Spanish in Middle School for 2 years. You can imagine what they read and how appealing it is to the typical student. Looking to see if there was anything new in the Land of Oz for a birthday present, I happened on this and the lightbulb went off - this ...

Signet Classic, 2009

Good Book, Good Price
This version of Baum's classic book "The Wizard of Oz" makes a great, not to mention inexpensive, addition to your home library. It's both small and short, making it easy to take with you on a bus trip or for reading in bed. Don't let the cheesy cover fool you--the book contains the actual black-and-white illustrations from the original version. For me, that was a real plus! Other than that, ...

Entertaining Stories for Adults and Children
Lyman Frank Baum (1856-1919) is best known today as the author of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," a children's story written in 1900. But following the success of that book, Baum wrote thirteen other Oz stories before his death from a stroke in 1919. Moreover, Baum wrote dozens of other children's tales, plays, and general stories. He was extraordinarily prolific, churning out five books in the ...

Ojo in Oz,

Ruth Plumly Thompson, L. Frank Baum

The Reilly & Lee co, 1933

Good character development
Not only is this book suspenseful and funny, it also features more detailed character development than is usual in the Oz books as Thompson develops the friendship between Ojo--whom we first met in Baum's "The Patchwork Girl of Oz"--and a bandit named Realbad. Recommended.

Better Than Harry Potter In My Opinion
It's been a while since I last read a book in the Oz series but I just couldn't get enough of them as a child. I can't think of a more underrated series of books than those set in the wonderful land of Oz. There is so much more to Oz than the movie that we have all seen. Don't make a huge mistake and think that since you've seen the movie that you know what the books are about because I guarantee ...

Wonderful fantay book with a happy ending.
I have been looking for this book in antique stores for 10 years. I was so pleased to see it had been reprinted. I remembered the title and the story about the split man. I have used this character as an illustration in many speeches that I have given. I wish that sometimes I could split myself so as to perform all the various tasks to be done. This book would be a good one for Disney ...
