A Memory from LONG ago . . .,
By Sam A. Milazzo (Sydney, N.S.W Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wizard of Oz: Level 4 (Hardcover)
I haven't seen this book since LONG ago, when I was very little, but I still remember the pictures of this book whenever I think about it . . . This style is a bit different from the original: Dorothy's Kansas shoes are red, the magic shoes are shiny-black (?), the Good Witches are Pilgrim-styled with different ages, the Wizard is a WIZARD (Long beard, tall hat, cloak robe, old face, you know . . . ) and the Wicked Witch of the West's face looks a bit like a clow, but she has a pointy black hat and thick black robe with short (spiky?) hair. I remember the Emerald City being illustrated with LOTS of Towers. If any of you have a different "kid's book" of the Wizard of Oz (where Robert McPhillips has Dorothy wearing PANTS!!!, the Tinman looking like a Knight, the Emerald City resembling the Neverending story and the Wicked Witch looking like a troll/ogre), then this book will be better suited because it resembles the original. There is another "kids book" and that version has the illustrations of Angus McBride looking almost EXACTLY like W. W. Denslow. This book is excellent and should be added to your collection of books on the Wizard of Oz and Other Oz Stories!!

Re-telling remains true to original.,

This review is from: Read It Yourself Level 4 Wizard Of Oz (Hardcover)
Considering this easy chapter book has only 48 pages, they have done a good job of covering the classic. This is an adaptation of the BOOK, not the movie. Some of the illustrations might be a bit scary for little ones. I got this for my daughter when she was 4. Two years later, it is still one of her favorites. Now, of course, she can read a good deal of it on her own.If your child loves The Wizard of Oz, this would be a good choice. |
