The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Book Reviews
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum Book Summary
An Apple Books Classic edition.
You’ve seen the iconic 1939 movie, but do you know about the talking field mice, the Winkies, and the Witch of the North that appear in the original book? L. Frank Baum’s beloved classic - the first title in the Oz series - is more complex and intricate than the movie, but just as colorful and fun. The story features a large cast of enchanting characters and a thrilling heroic quest.
Upon the book’s release in 1900, Baum wrote, “It aspires to be a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heart-aches and nightmares are left out.” Mission accomplished. Readers of all ages immediately fell in love with the story, demanding sequels, and Baum obliged, penning more than a dozen installments before his death in 1919.

Wow!. This book was wonderful!
The wonderful Wizard of Oz.  very good
🙂. what a story!
The best. Thought this was the mix of happy and sad,highly recommended it😀.
Adventure wrote well. A fantastic adventure that enthralls and edifies. Not only is the book filled with life lessons, but the writing is top notch. English as she is written. Highly recommend.
Enjoyable original Wizard of Oz. I’ve always loved the Wizard of Oz movie. This book was fun to read and you can tell the movie was an adaptation of it. Easy reading. There’s a park in Chicago dedicated to Frank Baum and Oz. We went there when our kids were young. That’s been a good 25, 20 years ago. Wonder if it’s still there
Ok. It was a good book but I think there should be more exciting.Other then that,I recommend it.👍
Good read. So much better than the film! As usual!
Screw you Apple. They keep trying to charge me $22 for a “free” book. 0 stars if I could
The best book. Litterly so good I came on apple book to find a book to read when I crossed over this it really is an amazing book.
Amazing!!!. I absolutely love this book and everything about it!!!
I loved it 5 stars recommend. I loved the wizard of oz because it is full of adventure and playfulness it has excitement and it’s just amazing and it’s just so wonderful and magical and I give it five stars.
A masterpiece. One of the best fairy tales of all time.
Wonderful Fairy Tale. Still a great children’s read and the start of an amazing series of fairy tales.
Great. Amazing. Nothing. But. Amazing
Loved it ❤️❤️❤️❤️. It really ave me imagination and made me think I am inside the story. It also gave my details than the movie.
Wonderful. A joy to read
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. A great classic I really enjoyed it.
Classic. Loved this book.
Surprising. I had no idea the book was so different from the movie which I love. I actually prefer the book now because there is so much more to the story.
Epic book. Very good book
Highly recommend watching the movie then reading the book. Book is nothing like the movie. Don’t read the book. Movie is much better to follow then this book
Good for a kids book. Fun book, 2 Complaints... 1. This book reuses the word AND, so much. And tells the reader things they already told us. For instance, “and Dorothy, and Toto, and the scarecrow, and The Tin Woodsman, and The Cowardly Lion, etc. 2. There are extremely wacky characters that are there for the sake of more characters. Most of these bazaar characters, only return into the story for 1 page, once more, or never again. Those are my main complaints. Though a little one is that the end feels extremely time crunched.
Good book. I did a play in the sixth or seventh grade on this and we rocked those peoples socks off.I totes reckoned the book as a fav
Cool 😎 Fairy Tale!. This story by L. Frank Baum is sounding all so magical 🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻♀️. Annie Mautner
Pretty good.. Reading this book left me wishing that they had included more about the land of Oz than the film covered. Worth a read if you enjoyed the film, but it stands on its own without ever knowing the film existed, despite it’s fame.
Pretty good. Nice message and good book
Amazing fantasy world. This was an amazing story with some many great details that were left out of the movie. The story really draws you in and makes for a fast read. The world that Baum creates is very fascinating and really paints a beautiful picture.
Made long. My mom made me read dis fo a book report and dis ho madddd long on bro like dis shi givin me a headache like da fawk but I mean still a decent book ig
This is such a good book you have to read it!!. This is such a good book you have to read it!!👍🏻
Wizard of Oz. An absolute classic and favorite! Fairly easy to read, and after being obsessed with Wicked, I had to read these Oz books. I think everyone who loves fantasy should read this.
Great bedtime story. A great American classic to read the children at night.
Test. How does this work.
Kinda eh to be honest. The movie was better tbh, i always love the books more then movie adaptation but this was an exception. the pop up book was more interesting haha
purrrr. one of the best books in existence purr
Easy read!. I wanted to know what all the fuzz was about. The Scarecrow-mhm, for someone with no brains, he sure does come up with a lot of ideas, even before he “gets” his brain. The Tin Woodman- for someone who claims to have no heart, he sure cries a lot for no good reason and feels (killing a bug for example). The Cowardly Lion claims to have no courage, but was going to eat Dorothy and her dog and the rest the first time they met. Some of it makes no sense.
Really good book. This is a great book if you want to pass time
Like being a child again!. Made marvelous use of my own imagination.
كمعقب أطلاق. تواطؤالزر
My favorite. Tybfgnmo
Loved it. This is a very good book for kids who are yearly readers. I would definitely recommend this for anyone.
Really Enjoyable Read. Throughout the whole book, there were small twists here and there keeping you very engaged. I absolutely loved the character of Dorothy as she makes new friends and somehow manages to kill 2 witches like are you kidding?!?! 🤣
Love The Movie. Of course, I love the movie and wanted to see what story the book told. Lots of differences but, a great story. I’ll be off to a different book that has made it to the big screen.
Good book. It was A VERY Good book! I read it and it was good. So Good!
Great. Good book
i love you. i love you <3
A quick and easy read. It was nice to see the parts that were left out of the movie.

It is Pretty good. I liked the book I just thought there could of been more feeling in it

Wizard of oz. Great read
The wonderful wizard of oz. This book was very interesting even though I've watched the movie, books are much more better than the movie. It didn't take me that long to read it it took 3 days. I rate this book 5/5 because I liked the way the author had used lots of interesting words.
An excellent read. I really enjoyed reading every page of this well written book over two days and worth every minute of it, seen the film umpteenth times since being a little boy but read the book once now in my early 40's, Verdict the book is much better
Great!. Good book for any age!

End page. Hate the last page
The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz. This book is a super creative. I love how Scarecrow, Woodman and Lion can all talk. There was various diferences between all the worlds they visited. Her friends are very helpful and brave, they saved the others many times. At the end Oz was a rondom man, he had been a hambug and tricked everyone in the Emerald City. I especially like the part when they arrive at the land of the South. This book is amazing and gives me ideas for my own writing. 👍🏻👏🏼
The wonderful wizard of oz. It was REALLY REALLY GREAT👍
Very good book. I like this book it is like the movie
Studied book. This book is boring
Love it. I L❤️VE THIS BOOK. I have always wanted to read this book because I became fond of the movie. It is a touching story. I would recommend this book to children 9+. It a fantastic book.
i love it. that book is one of the best classics aroubd
Underwhelming. Having been a lover of the movie since childhood, finally reading this book at the age of 47 left me underwhelmed. It’s most definitely a kid’s book and surely not written for people of my grand age, so this is not a criticism. Very different story and characters from the movie, too.
Wizard of oz by L. Frank baum. I loved this book 📕 Sooooooooooooo much and it was really interesting 🙂
My Opinion. It is a GREAT book and I mean GREAT. But then again there are always better books. I say a book everyone has to read is Harry Potter.
Stop reading fan fiction. Read rich dad poor dad instead!. We is has found the enemy. And they it us.
Perfect Book. The Wizard of oz is a must reed book on iBooks (10/10)

Wizard Of Oz. Dorothy ends up in a weird world.meets new friends and has a adventurers adventure.
Good. Good
This book is so good! You should write a series!. Please write another book please!
Great original version!. The great story before Hollywood adapted it. Enough differences to be 'new' but also familiar to those old and young who love the popular version. An excellent bed time read for youngsters.
Jakob. I think this book is to long to read
Very good. A very enjoyable classic. I recommend.

I love love love this book of course growing like rock Rocky Road you should eat this.
Wonderful for the imagination. The 1930s film heavily based on this book doesn't have all the amazing things that make the land of Oz, OZ. If you have a little child, or you want to do a book report, this book is short, but sweet in any way. It shows you that you don't need a magic potion to make you special, you only need your heart and uniqueness. All in all, the adventures in Oz are amazing, and I most definitely would recommend it.
The Wizard of Oz. A lovely story. Good for both children and adults. I remember seeing the 1939 movie and it was just as wonderful!
Silver shoes. I like the story but the silver shoes is supposed to be ruby shoes!
Unexpected, wonderful!. This is an essential classic. Throw out any idea of the classic movie, it does not do this simple, lively tale justice at all. What a whimsical, charming story! You'll never forget the adventures of Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman and the Cowardly Lion.
Loved it. I've always liked the film since I was a child and I heard about the prequel that is coming out so I downloaded the book and enjoyed every single part! Can't wait to read the rest before Oz is out in March!
Pretty good book. This is a pretty food book to read! If you like fantasy, read this!
Dislike page. What I did not like was that they were really bad storms and I feel bad for the girl
Good book. Great detail in this exiting remake of the original Wonderful wizard of Oz
Ozyoz. It was good but it kind of got repetitive
I love ittt❤️. So cute nice story for little ones. I encourage you to read it and have great time in the journey to the Emerald city and meet the great and terrible wizard Oz 🧙♂️ ✨
Amazing. I loved this book! I was easy to follow along the interesting events along the book. This book was absolutely a perfect story! Each plot was so well thought through and the book fit well as a puzzle!
Beautiful!. This book is so detailed. You can really feel the emotion of the story. You also really get to understand and feel for the charterers. Just an amazing book. I definitely recommend it!
Very different from the original. This version is very different from what I am use to. A little more violet and descriptive for a kids book but it was still a good read.
Not a remake. To the guy who commented before me, this isn't a remake, it's the original novel that the movie was based on.
