The book is pretty different from the movie. They cut many parts out of the book for the movie, but all were good choices in my opinion. I found it interesting that he wrote the story based on a bedtime story he told his kids. Wish I had that kind of imagination. This is a very fast read, entertaining and who doesn't love the Wizard of Oz?!

From the Publisher
Hailed as the first original American fairy tale, The Wizard of Oz inspired countless sequels and imitations, as well as the classic American musical film and the Broadway musical The Wiz. In L. Frank Baum's imaginative story, Dorothy Gale takes a magical journey from the American heartland into the wonderful land of Oz to meet the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion.

Complete and Unabridged.

I missed this when I was a child, but loved the movie. Now I love the book and want toread more of them. Although it is like the movie there is more to the book than the movie.
