4.0 out of 5 stars
Adorably Suited for Younger Children
As soon as I saw this book, I knew a certain friend's little girl would love this book. The pictures are made from pencils, crayons and paint and are beautiful, even the well-known used pictures. Even though Dorothy's blonde hair and stripped stockings might make her look a bit liek Alice and the Lion looks old and skinny/skwauny, and many of the pictures closley follow...

Great book, so-so illustrations
This book is 100 years old, but as Angela Lansbury (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, MURDER SHE WROTE, BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS, THE WIZARD OF OZ: 50 YEARS OF MAGIC, etc) once said "you can hear the story and a million times isn't enough." This timeless tale is one you will enjoy indefinatly! This one has NEW illustrations which are not as good as John R. Neil's or Charles...

This review is from: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: The Centenary Edition (Hardcover)
This book is 100 years old, but as Angela Lansbury (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, MURDER SHE WROTE, BEDKNOBS AND BROOMSTICKS, THE WIZARD OF OZ: 50 YEARS OF MAGIC, etc) once said "you can hear the story and a million times isn't enough." This timeless tale is one you will enjoy indefinatly! This one has NEW illustrations which are not as good as John R. Neil's or Charles Santore's but are better than most. I recommend this book and I think you will enjoy it immensely!

Adorably Suited for Younger Children,
By Sam A. Milazzo (Sydney, N.S.W Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: The Centenary Edition (Hardcover)
As soon as I saw this book, I knew a certain friend's little girl would love this book. The pictures are made from pencils, crayons and paint and are beautiful, even the well-known used pictures. Even though Dorothy's blonde hair and stripped stockings might make her look a bit liek Alice and the Lion looks old and skinny/skwauny, and many of the pictures closley follow Denslow's orginal design (cyclone, silvers hoes with ribbons, melting witch, etc.), the children will love this book, because the full original story is here. The Wicked witch has a new skin colour and looks a tiny bit like a vampire, the Winged Monkeys have colourful/parrot-like wings, Scarecrow's shirt is brown, Glinda is beautiful (even if we don't see all her hair) and when Dorothy and Toto return to Kansas, there is a lovely picture of the new farm.
I'm sure that any child will love this ediion, even if not all the chapters have a picture. |
