Customer Reviews: Good Book, Good PriceMarch 5, 2009 Summer Shortcake 16 out of 16 found this review helpful
This version of Baum's classic book "The Wizard of Oz" makes a great, not to mention inexpensive, addition to your home library. It's both small and short, making it easy to take with you on a bus trip or for reading in bed.
Don't let the cheesy cover fool you--the book contains the actual black-and-white illustrations from the original version. For me, that was a real plus! Other than that, this printing is no-frills, just sweet and simple. No commentary or analysis, just the wonderful little story we all know and love.
Reviewing Wizard of OzJune 21, 2010 Amalia(Sydney, Australia) I decided to purchase this book as I found it's a must-read classic for children. I wanted my little sister to experience the same joy I did reading this book before watching the movie. I believe it's necessary to read books before watching the films, as watching the movie spoils the fun and often leaves out the critical areas.
She's absolutely loving it, and I recommend it as a definite read for your children or sisters. :)
Standard good book for kidsAugust 27, 2009 Jay H. Colborn(Tallahassee, FL) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is one of the top of the line of books for kids. I have it to my grandkids, and skimmed it. It seemed outstanding.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Signet Classics)June 12, 2010 Sara Hansen D. Souza It is a humorous story good for children around the ages of 7-10 who have English as their mother tongue.It was interesting to see the original illustrations, however, I would have preferred to buy one with pictures in colour as this one was a little unappealing to the eyes. It is written in old English so your children may enjoy you reading it with them in order to help them catch some of the puns etc.
