Product Description
We re off to see the wizard! The magic of Scanimation meets the wonderful Wizard of Oz, bringing to life 10 memorable scenes from the movie that s enchanted generations of viewers. It s the gift book of the fall, and includes: Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, and Toto dancing down the Yellow Brick Road Dorothy s farmhouse flying upward in a twister Miss Gulch, on her bicycle in the tornado, transforming into a witch on a broomstick The Lollipop Kids strutting from side to side The Scarecrow doing a wacky dance The Tin Man swaying from side to side; Dorothy and the Scarecrow flanking him as if to catch him The Wicked Witch of the West waving on a sky full of flying monkeys The Wicked Witch of the West melting The Great and Powerful Oz and the man behind the curtain frantically pulling levers A close-up of Dorothy clicking her ruby slippers Like Star Wars before it, The Wizard of Oz is a marriage of phenomenal Scanimation and one of the most beloved movies of all time. It also continues to be a vital icon: Warner s 2009 release of the 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector s Edition won DVD critics and numerous other awards; Warner Brothers Kids just launched wizardofozkids.com; and in 2011, Andrew Lloyd Webber is staging The Wizard of Oz on Broadway. Now it s found yet new life through Rufus Butler Seder With equal parts love and skill, he s created 10 compelling Scanimations, taking us over the rainbow. A glittering, ruby-red cover is the final, delectable touch.

I could read this again!, Feb 24 2012
By Young Mensan BookParade - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wizard of Oz, The: A Scanimstion Book (Hardcover)
The book was about the Wizard of Oz. It is about things that the characters say. When you turn the pages, the pictures move to illustrate what the characters are saying.I think other kids would enjoy it because some kids like short books with moving pictures. It is easy to read and the pictures are fun.
The Wizard of Oz picture is kind of scary and some people like scary things. I think it is silly how the witch is surprised because she starts melting. I think this book is special because it has cool pictures.
I think it is best for little kids but think that kids of all ages would enjoy it. Boys and girls would probably both enjoy it. I think it is a book that I could put away and then get out to read again. I think it would be best for someone around age 4. Kids who like short books, moving pictures, and movies would like it.

This is a perfect addition to my 'grandma' library! The scanimation books hold a fascination for my youngest granddaughter, ToriJO! The Wizard of Oz scenes are well-chosen and fun to look at. I'm tickled!

Very disappointed, Dec 13 2011

This review is from: Wizard of Oz, The: A Scanimstion Book (Hardcover)
I also find the picture quality poor in the copy I received . Some are so dark, you can see movement, but it is not a picture you can even make out. If you enjoy shadowy, questionable movement, this may be the book for you. I do not.
Listmania!
