Advantages: A fantastic storyline with some excellent characters,

Disadvantages: None.

The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum really is one of the most incredible novels available. It is a children's novel and is also a fantasy adventure that was originally published in 1990. The book contains 259 pages and so is a relatively long book for children but I'm sure as you know the quality is like none other and it just has the most amazing story line! In 1939 there was a film version of the novel made that was also very popular. I would really recommend this as a children's book because I remember absolutely loving this novel.

The story is about when at first a large, scary and powerful cyclone that hits Dorothy's home in Kansas. This then forces Dororthy and her dog who is called Toto to a wonderful and magical land called Oz. The only way that she can get herself back to her home in Kansas is to follow the golden, yellow brick road. Once she comes to the end of the yellow brick road, Dorothy should find the Wizard of Oz and where he lives. Dororthy along with her parterns including Tin Woodman, Scarecrow man and the Cowardly Lion. They are the most beautiful children's characters who people can really relate to and I just think the adventure is wonderful. Dorothy and her group of new friends then go on their magical adventure in hope of getting back to her home.

I would really recommend this novel because I think it is ideal as a children's book. The novel itself is beautifully written and the characters are just brilliant. I could not recommend this anymore and I hope you can see how wonderful it is. I really think that it is the ideal adventure that is described beautifully by the author. I hope this was useful and thank you very much for reading this!

Summary: A brilliant novel that is a classic in its own right, highly recommended!
