Jordan Webb -The Wizard of Oz

I chose to read The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum because the movie is one of my favorites, unlike the book. The movie is so much more cheerful and makes the story to be more like a fable or fairy tale. The book has so many more details about Dorothy’s adventure to the Emerald City like them staying at many different munchkins’ homes. The book also includes more background about each character such as the Tin Man’s love. You can tell the movie is made for younger kids, even though the book is an easy read, by all the singing and happy characters. I prefer the movie by far.
