My only qualm is that it isn't made too well. It's obvious that after a few read-throughs you'll have some glue coming apart and some tears in the pop-ups. ( )The Wizard of Oz pop-up book is written by L. Frank Baum. This book is about a girl from Kansas who ends up in Oz and she goes to Emerald City to talk to the Wizard so she can get back home, on the way she meets some friends and they decide they want to go to. I like this book because it is a pop-up book and is fun. The story is great too. I like how she ends up there and meets her friends and the adventures that happen to them on their way. I would like to read this book to my students because I think they would really like that it pops up and I think it would keep their attention throughout the book. I would like to read this book with other pop-up books. so far it is fantastic i think people should read it because it is good and i think kids would love it!!! This modern fantasy tale depicts the story of Dorothy's journey to the magical land of Oz. Dorothy, a young girl who lives on a Kansas farm with her dog Toto are entrapped in a tornado and are placed in munckin land. The house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East killing her. The Good Witch of the North comes to greet Dorothy and gives her a pair of shoes. In order to return to Kansas, Dorothy is to visit the Wizard of Oz. In the end Dorothy realizes that she had the power to go home all along without the Wizard. I have never really like this story. It always seemed a little far-fetched for my taste but many have loved it over the years. I do enjoy Dorothy’s red shoes. For classroom extension I would have children glue the characters along the yellow-brick road or have them try and dress up like the characters, or wear red sparkly shoes on the day you read the story to the class. The Wizard of Oz is a wonderful story about Dorothy and the mysterious land of Oz. She ends up in Oz by accident and is desperate of get home to Kansas which can only be done by the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy set off on a journey to find the wizard. Along the way, she meets a scarecrow missing his brain, a tin man with no heart, and a less than brave lion. She has to battle a witch that is out to get her slippers. The slippers have deep significance because they are her protection and in the end, her way home. Classroom extension: The children could be given parts and act out certain scenes of the story. The children could use arts and crafts to make the various important pieces of the story (for example: the medal of courage, the tin man's heart, the diploma for the scarecrow, and the magical slippers. no reviews | add a review
