I bought this book for myself, but my husband took it and enjoyed every page of it. He even told me about it as he was ready it. Considering my husband is not a reader this is amazing.

This is a great book with beautiful illustrations. My granddaughter (who is a huge fan of The Wizard of Oz--also by L. Frank Baum) was delighted with it.
