DESCRIPTION:
"Poor Quality Printed Edition" according to Amazon Customer. The quality of this edition is very poor. When I did a search for this title I didn't see any publishers I recognized, so I ordered this version. It is a strange copy with almost non-existent margins, long text lines, and a thin cover. When I went back to the "Look Inside" feature, I could then see an edition by Puffin featured down the sidebar. This thin copy was damaged during shipping, so I. A good reference book. This is quite a thorough reference book for Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It contains about 70 pages of biographical information about Baum, a history of the Oz series including some color plates, and related discussions; a reproduction of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz printed with correct colors with thorough annotations; a 20 page section about W.

The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations. Having this thought in mind, the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident
Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz, master paper engineer Robert Sabuda has created a pop-up version of Dorothy's adventures in Oz that fans will find hard to resist. Sabuda's homage to the classic is truly spectacular; even purists will gasp in delight at the sight of the humbug wizard floating away in his shiny green, gold, and blue hot-air balloon. Modeling his depictions of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the rest after W. The abridged text, provided in minibooklets set onto each page, covers enough basics for the Oz novice, but we recommend a read-aloud of the original, as well, for all the glory and detail of Baum's fantastic tale. Glorious red poppies wave seductively in a field. And the Emerald City positively glitters with green, especially when
