The Wizard of Oz: Movie Storybook

Rating:
Summary: Feels like a magazine - lots of glossy pictures
Review: I bought this as a read-aloud picture book for my four-year old daughter, who's into the movie big time. It's perfect for her, except that the binding and pages feel like a magazine, not a book. I wish it were more durable!

There's plenty of big beautiful pictures on every page straight from the movie. The text is true to the movie and reads aloud well. My only complaint is the durability - I just don't expect it to hold up to her intense scrutiny!

Update - 15 months later - my daughter lost interest after a couple of months, and I'm pleased to report that the Movie Storybook lasted not only through her interest, but through my 2 year old son's interest as well! (He prefers to skip any pages with the witch on them.)

Summary: wizard of oz
Review: This book is really good book plus it ha alot more parts in the book than in the movie. Once i started reading this book i could not put it down. It was a non stop adventure book. Every time the story started to die it would start right back up again.
It is about a girl named Dorthy who lived in Kansas and a tornado hit. She could not make it into the basement, so she got stuck in her bedroom. The tornado sucked her up and took her over the rainbow. Then she gets stuck in aland called Oz and she is trying to get back to Kansas. THe little people tell her that she has to travel to Emerald city to ask the Wizard of Oz to get her back home. On her way to Emerald city she runs into three people. the first person is the scarecrow. Then next person is a tin man. THe third person is a lion. Each of them want something from the Wizard of Oz. The scarecrow wants to get a brain. The tin man wants a heart, and the lions wants courage. On their way the wicked witch of the west keeps interfering trying to get Dorthys red sparkling shoes. then later in they have an encounter with the witch at her castle. They run away from the soldier monkeys and get cornered and Dorthys teaches for the bucket of water that they use to put out the fire. She grabs the handle and throws the water on the wicked witch and to dorthys surprise she melts. finally they arrive at Emerald city. Then the Wizard of Oz listens to their story and they each get what they want. This book shows a lot of freindship and courage. That is why i thought it was a good book.
