Rating:  Summary: The BEST Oz book ever! Review: If you want an Oz book that is fun to read to yourself or to children, this is the ticket! Page after page, I said to myself "this is just darling!" Toto is America's favorite canine and The Wizard of Oz is the most endearing movie of all time. I am so glad that Willard Carroll put this book together it is just terrific.Hollywood's Golden Era is captured so well as you easily travel through page after page. I promise that you won't put it down until you're finished and the kids (especially the ones who watch the movie on a daily basis) will love for you to read this to them. Congratulations to Author Carroll, who has Oz in his heart and soul and managed to put it down on paper for all of us to enjoy. How many times I've watched that movie and simply focused on Toto, who was just the cutest dog in the world. He makes everybody want to adopt him, well, now this is the next best thing.

Rating:  Summary: Absolutely Charming Review: The type of book that seems so simple but is difficult to do well - sweet but not saccharine, humane but not preachy. Light but intelligent entertainment for adults and children.
Rating:  Summary: This Book is Wonderful Review: This book transported me to Hollywood in the 30's. It was such a wonderful book to read. The Story about Clark Gable alone was worth the price of the Book!!
Rating:  Summary: Heartwarming and Inspiring Review: This heartwarming, charming book tells the real story of Terry, a once-abandoned cairn terrier, who became Toto in the Wizard of Oz movie. Rescued from an uncertain future by dog trainer Carl Spitz, the story is told from Terry's point of view. The "auto-biography" is written in such a charming way we can believe that Terry did write it. The discovery of Terry's scrapbook, kept safe for 50 years in a tin box, in a pile of rubble that would soon become part of the Ventura Freeway, is akin to the magic of Oz. Lovingly created (we assume) by Terry/Toto's "guardians," the Spitz's, we rejoice in its recovery and are glad Mr. Carroll has shared Terry's story with the world. As a Cairn Terrier owner, and grieving the recent loss of a 17-year companion, this book lifted my heart. The Toto in my life, Andy, is memorialized forever. The book inspired me to open my heart and share my life with another Cairn Terrier. If you love cairn terriers, dogs, Toto, or Oz, you MUST read this book. A wonderful gift for any dog lover.

Rating:  Summary: I, TOTO is a darling book! Review: Written from Toto's perspective this book gives you an insight into what really would have been going through this little dogs mind. It not only captures his thoughts but is a good source of valuable information on THE dog of OZ. It is a book that should be read to or by all children who love this movie.
