About this book
After an earthquake sends Dorothy and her companions below ground, they try to find their way to Oz in a fairy tale for younger readers. The Wizard’s former job rising in a balloon to attract circus crowds makes his claims of magical skill amusingly precarious when the Mangaboos test him. When invisible bears threaten the party, a plant rubbed on shoes and hooves lets them cross a river without sinking. Dorothy’s calm explanation of Oz’s living sawhorse gives the strange country an easy, conversational air.
