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, this printing is no-frills, just sweet and simple. No commentary or analysis, just the wonderful little story we all know and love.

|Still a great children’s book,
This book, which was old when I was a child, is still a great children’s book. In some ways, I like it better than the famous movie made from it and starring Judy Garland. The movie was great, but time constraints caused them to leave out quite a lot. As a child, I whiled away many an hour reading this particular book. Still, if your child is an indifferent reader, you might have to think about it, since it’s not written in today’s style.

|Surprised Me.. in a good way,
I remember reading this book in middle school, and not liking it very much. But as I have been re-reading may old books I read years ago, I thought I would give it another go.
I was very surprised at how much I liked it. I came into the reading prepared to dislike the book, I do the movie but this book is way better. The movie is (was… haven’t seen it in years) not as in depth, as in any book to movie story.
You get more depth and filling from the lion, tin man and dorthy. I felt I got to know there past and troubles more, in this book.
I plan on reading the other books that take place in Oz.
