Customer Reviews of The Emerald City of Oz

Friendship, courage and adventure!
As a little girl, I read this book **at least** 20 times! The friendship of Dorothy, Ozma, the Cowardly Lion, the Hungry Tiger, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and all the others truly shines here, as they face great danger together with love and courage. The tour of Oz is so much fun, and the terrible danger Oz faces from the Nome King and his allies is very exciting! <

>John R. Neill's gorgeous original art nouveau illustrations bring the fairytale to life. Highly, highly recommended! If you want your child to love reading, share this book with her. This is a snuggle up under the covers, read all Saturday kind of book! <

The Emerald City of Oz (Books of Wonder)
The sixth book in the series The Emerald City of Oz (Books of Wonder) by L. Frank Baum is one of the best so far and covers the adventures of Dorothy and her numerous friends in the land of oz. This time Dorothy moves to Oz for good with her aunt and uncle after they have lost all their money and been evicted from their farm. Here we get once more to meet old friends such as the tinman, jack pumpkin, the cowardly lion and the splendid princess ozma. The story centers on the evil nome king and his insideous plan for revenge and also contains crazy little stories about paper people and a land filled with cake like people. I love it and so will you. <

Still my favorite Oz book
I just read The Emerald City of Oz to my little boy, who's almost five (see my earlier review of the book from 2000 which I wrote when he was about a week old!), and he and I both enjoyed it immensely. We're reading all the Oz books in order, and are now on our eighth (Tik-Tok of Oz). My son is a huge Oz fan. <

>One cautionary note to those who wish to read this book to their young children: My little one was actually quite upset and frightened at the prospect of Oz being invaded and possibly destroyed by the Nomes and their ferocious allies. A number of times I had to soothe him by explaining that Ozma was sure to find some way to save her country. Perhaps this is a better book for older children.
