The Wonderful Wizard of Oz : Illustrated Abridged Children Classic

Carried off by a cyclone along with her dog Toto, Dorothy lands in a country that runs by rules nobody has explained to her. The road to the Wizard takes her past a Scarecrow who wants a brain, a Tin Woodman missing a heart and a Lion short on nerve, and the walk home is the whole story. The tale by L. Frank Baum is abridged and illustrated in this edition, keeping the episodes children remember while trimming the length for readers who are still building confidence with longer books. What sits between the covers: • Dorothy's walk down the yellow brick road in shortened form • The Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and Cowardly Lion all present • Colour illustrations of the land she travels through • Chapter lengths that suit a newly independent reader A fit for children of roughly seven to eleven and for parents reading a chapter a night.
