Summary: The famous tale of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a classic that focuses on the girl with the blue and white dress with pigtails and her little dog Toto. When a tornado whirls through her town in Kansas she ends up getting thrown into a magical land and must find her way home. With the help of the Tin man, Scarecrow, Glinda the good witch, and the Cowardly Lion they must try to get to the Emerald City to see the Wizard. Let's hope the Wicked Witch of the West with her winged monkey's do not get in there way too much.
Evaluation: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was always my favorite, and when the movie came out it made me re-imagine the whole fantasy world of Oz all over again. Children will definitely love this story, and they will fall in love with all of the characters. I think this is a fantastic classic fantasy story that should be read at some point to your students/children. I highly recommend this story.
