Author: L. Frank Baum Format: Softcover book, 120 pages. Bilingual Journey’s Age Recommendations: From 9 years. Description: This unabridged version of this classic is illustrated with the original black and white illustrations that appeared in the 1900 edition. It is designed for accomplished readers, who are beginning to move into a more adult-level of writing. The story is about Dorothy, a girl who is carried to the magical land of Oz by a cyclone, and must return to her native Kansas. Our comments: This is a novel that every child should read: it is a classic and has become an integral part of Western culture. It is similar enough to the movie that children will enjoy recognizing their favorite characters, but the story line and characters are much more developed and complex, making it appropriate for older children and independent readers. This edition is nice for its economic price and the original illustrations. |
