This was written after the Wizard of Oz and follows Dorothy and Toto on more adventures. The book also introduces new characters. I especially liked the story with Jack Pumpkinhead and Sawhorse.

Little Wizard, Stories of Oz by L. Frank Baum
This was written after the Wizard of Oz and follows Dorothy and Toto on more adventures. The book also introduces new characters. I especially liked the story with Jack Pumpkinhead and Sawhorse.
The Wizard of Oz by L.Frank Baum, Illustrated by Michael Hague
I could not believe I had never read the Wizard of Oz or any books by L. Frank Baum. I definitely liked this book better than the movie. I always thought the movie was very scary. I thought the book was a little more gentler and not as scary. The book included more details and I loved the fantasy aspect of the story.
As a side note, I had just visited the grave of Dorothy Gage, the author's niece and inspiration for the character Dorothy. She was an infant when she died and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Bloomington, IL. There is a beautiful wood carving of Dorothy and the yellow brook road beside the grave. It was very inspirational!!
