The ultimate gift edition of L. Frank Baum’s beloved story—just in time to celebrate the 70th anniversary of MGM’s classic film adaptation! Featuring a ribbon marker, this magical version is redesigned and reproduced from the original art.

Charles Santore has crafted a very personal, highly visual, and dazzling interpretation, with a carefully condensed text that uses virtually no words other than Baum’s own. Readers of all ages will follow the Yellow Brick Road on an unforgettable journey that takes them from Dorothy’s gray Kansas home into the blue Munchkin land; the sparkling bejeweled Emerald City; the dark, foreboding forest; and the ruby-red throne room of Glinda the Good Witch.

Michael Patrick Hearn, the world’s leading authority on The Wizard of Oz and L. Frank Baum, provides an enlightening introduction.

This book was "ok" but I was expecting more action and well Wizards but people always say never judge a book by its cover.

THIS BOOK IS THE BEST I LOVED THE BOOK AND THE MOVIE!!!!!

This is another book that is just like its movie. I would recommend this book for 3rd and up because it is a long book. I really enjoyed the details in the book compared to the movie, like the movie never talked about there being four witches. My favorite character is always Toto he is a main character through the book but doesn't really have any parts lol.

The full/real version of this book is really good. It has more detail than the movie and has some really cool elements like the glass village. It was a really long book, so be prepared.

I haven't seen the one with new illustrations such as this one, but I have read the annotated version and the original version and I am a big fan. I am hoping to read the rest of the books very soon.

this is a awesome book

I actually listened to this book as an audiobook but I really enjoyed it! I usually don't enjoy classics but I found this was so easy to understand, and the plot was really fun. I thought it was cool to finally know how the wizard of oz ended and overall I really enjoyed it.

this book is awesome. i like it.

This is a very good book !There is a movie to that is good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
