Dorothy gets taken by tornado to the land of Oz where she meets the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. Together they seek out the Wonderful Wizard of Oz to get their wishes granted.

fans of the film will appreciate reading the book to see where the magic came from

I like the children's tale tone of the book. It's filled with whimsy, interesting characters and some humor.

There is no moral to the story. No one learns anything.

it's a fun read.

it's not the film. There are many, many differences between the film and the book, so be aware of that before you read so you're not disappointed!

For me, the book was fun, but the movie is great. The book just isn't all that memorable. In fact, as I neared the end of the book, I started thinking I might have read it before but forgotten.
