Frank Baum : Tik-Tok of Oz before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Tik-Tok of Oz: 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Another GOTTA-readBy Guy BernardI knew the Wizard of Oz story having seen the movie as a youngster.3-or-4 months ago I stumbled over the fact that there are a dozen follow-on books by Baum which I've seen referred to as "the Harry Potter of its day". At this point, I have read 8-or-9 of the series, have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. As soon as my youngest Grandson and I finish the the the Harry Potter series, we read after school one afternoon a week, and are near the end of the 7th and final book in that series, the Wizard of Oz is next on the list - he knows it and is looking forward to it.I'm reading the Kindle editions for a couple of reasons:1 - I'm cheap, so $0.00 is a most acceptable price2 - The lack of pictures opens the door for a lot of "what do you think he/she looks like?" conversations with my Grandson which are as fun for him as they are for me.You can read the Oz books in any sequence but, like any series, characters and situations from earlier stories rear their heads. I'm a bit of a teckie-type so I tend to do things in order, and that order is included at the end of each book in the series so the answer to "What's next?" is easy.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. No pictures; many typographical errorsBy Justin J. RebbertThere are no pictures in this edition at all. Most, maybe all, of the original editions did have some pictures, which I would have liked to have seen. Also, as with the other free editions in this series, there are many typographical errors, mainly misspellings. There is also the occasional bit of text that's randomly bold for no apparent reason. I suspect that a printed copy of the book was scanned and run through OCR, with no follow-up accuracy check.The story itself is pretty good. Although all of this series is clearly written for children, it's entertaining enough for adults to enjoy reading as well. But as an adult, I couldn't help but notice that many of the characters in all of these Oz stories, including the central characters, are often conceited, arrogant, and rude, yet at the same time, quite polite about it.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good, but not as good as BaumBy Mike LamontagneThis is Ruth Plumly Thompson's first Oz book, taking over the series after the death of L. Frank Baum. Thompson proves that she is a passable replacement for Baum - her stories are okay and she has a good grasp of the characters - but she is never able to fully capture the magic that Baum put into his stories. While much of the story focuses on the Scarecrow's adventures on Silver Island, the most interesting chapters are the ones that deal with Dorothy and Sir Hokus of Pokes (a character of Thompson's that will play a prominent role in some of her later books as well). The book tends to wander at times, making you wonder if Thompson knew exactly where she wanted to go at those points, but overall it will satisfy you if you are a fan of Oz.Mike LaMontagne, author, The Wizard of Oz: Dark Witch Rising Rainbow's Emissary (The Wizard of Oz: Dark Witch Rising) Witch Hunt (The Wizard of Oz: Dark Witch Rising) and The Carter Girls and the Battle of Frontenac Island Queen Ann Soforth of Oogaboo, a small monarchy separated from the rest of Oz's Winkie Country, sets out to raise an army to conquer Oz. Seventeen men eventually make up the Army of Oogaboo; they march out of their valley. Glinda magically rearranges the path through the mountains and Queen Ann and her army march out of Oz into a low-lying, befogged country. Betsy Bobbin, a girl who is a year older than Dorothy Gale, and her loyal mule Hank are washed ashore during a storm. They arrive at a large greenhouse that is the domain of the Rose Kingdom, where the roses tell them that no strangers are allowed. Just as the Royal Gardener (apparently the only human allowed in this flowery kingdom) is about to pass sentence on Betsy and Hank, the Shaggy Man falls through the greenhouse's roof, and charms the Gardener into sparing all of their lives with his Love Magnet. The flowers, not having hearts, are unaffected by the Magnet, and force the travellers to leave, taking with them the newly plucked Rose Princess Ozga, a cousin of Ozma, the ruler of Oz. The Shaggy Man relates how Ozma sent him here by means of the Magic Belt because he wanted to find his brother, who went digging underground in Colorado and disappeared. He surmised that the Nome King, ruler of the underground Nome Kingdom, captured him. They meet up with Polychrome the Rainbow's Daughter; and they rescue Tik-Tok from the well where the Nome King had tossed him. Once Tik-Tok is wound up, he accompanies Betsy, Hank, the Shaggy Man, Ozga, and Polychrome to their chance encounter with Queen Ann and her army. In a rage, Queen Ann orders them to be seized and bound, but Private Files mdash; the only private in this army of generals, colonels, and majors mdash; refuses to bind innocent girls. He resigns his commission on the spot. When Queen Ann learns of the riches to be found in the Nome King's underground kingdom, she calms down and accepts the services of Tik-Tok as her new private. From Publishers WeeklyCan the queen of Oogaboo, a small country in an isolated corner of Oz, take over all of Oz? Talking roses, Shaggy Man and Betsy from Oklahoma are but a few of the unusual characters in Tik-Tok of Oz, the eighth Oz novel by L. Frank Baum, and the first to bring a girl other than Dorothy to that enchanted land. This facsimile edition features 12 color plates and nearly 80 black-and-white drawings by Oz artist John R. Neill.

  • Roundabout Woot the Wanderer Slept That Night in the Tin Castle Of
    Chapter Three - Roundabout Woot the Wanderer slept that night in the tin castle of the Emperor of the Winkies and found his tin bed quite comfortable. Early the next morning he rose and took a walk through the gardens, where there were tin fountains and beds of curious tin flowers, and where tin birds perched upon the branches of tin trees and sang songs that sounded like the notes of tin whistles. All these wonders had been made by the clever Winkie tinsmiths, who wound the birds up every morning so that they would move about and sing. After breakfast the boy went into the throne room, where the Emperor was having his tin joints carefully oiled by a servant, while other servants were stuffing sweet, fresh straw into the body of the Scarecrow. Woot watched this operation with much interest, for the Scarecrow's body was only a suit of clothes filled with straw. The coat was buttoned tight to keep the packed straw from falling out and a rope was tied around the waist to hold it in shape and prevent the straw from sagging down. The Scarecrow's head was a gunnysack filled with bran, on which the eyes, nose and mouth had been painted. His hands were white cotton gloves stuffed with fine straw. Woot noticed that even when carefully stuffed and patted into shape, the straw man was awkward in his movements and decidedly wobbly on his feet, so the boy wondered if the Scarecrow would be able to travel with them all the way to the forests of the Munchkin Country of Oz.

  • Character Profiles
    CHARACTER PROFILES Jemma Rix on playing Elphaba: “Elphaba was born with green skin and because of this she is unfairly treated and judged, even by her own father. This causes her to be very sensitive about her skin colour. She is super intelligent, has a dry sense of humour and has so much care and compassion for everything and everyone in the land of Oz. When Elphaba discovers that what she thought was a quirk is actually a magical talent, she has the opportunity to meet The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz. However, she soon finds out he is creating segregation in the land and she does not want to be a part of it. She is then cast out of society and labelled “The WICKED Witch Of The West”. Even though she was standing up for what is right, the details are twisted so that the Ozians believe she is truly “WICKED”. Glinda is the only friend she ever had and through this friendship they both learn from each other and change for the better. Playing this role is a dream come true. With such a beautiful story and stunning music, I feel very lucky to be part of this amazing show.” Suzie Mathers on playing Galinda/Glinda: Glinda is such a wonderful character to play with so many dimensions. She goes on such a huge journey throughout the show and becomes a better person for the lessons she learns. In the beginning Glinda is confident, forward and self involved. She approaches life the only way she knows how. Privileged and entitled.

  • Comparing Witches in Children's Literature
    Comparing and Contrasting Witches in Children’s Literature © Gay Miller As September comes to an end, and October rolls around, I like for my students to start a novel with a Halloween theme. These are not necessarily Halloween books, but ones that have themes that represent the season. For younger students, Stellaluna with its bat theme is a great choice. I have used Harry Potter (wizards) and The SpiderwickChronicles (all types of creatures). This free printable includes several witch activities that can be used while reading Roald Dahl’s book The Witches. Comparing and Contrasting Two Witches By teaching a novel with a theme, the difficult Common Core Skill RL.9 compare and contrast becomes much easier. Whether you are comparing themes, setting, and plots by the same author (3rd grade), similar themes and topics (4th grade), stories in the same genre (5th grade), or different forms (6th grade), using a Halloween theme makes the writing projects fun and interesting for students. In this set of free printables, you’ll receive a printable for students to compare the Grand High Witch from Dahl’s The Witches to the Wicked Witch of the West in Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The next printable has students comparing a number of well-known witches from children’s literature. These include several fairy tale witches such as the witches from Sleeping Beauty and Hansel and Gretel. Instructions On the next seven pages, you will find excerpts from seven children’s stories that contain witches: • Hansel and Gretel • Rapunzel • Sleeping Beauty • Snowdrop • Ursula from The Little Mermaid • The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz • The Grand High Witch from The Witches Following the excerpts are graphic organizers for students to use to compare and contrast the witches.

  • Bear Center and Oogaboo
    Bear Center Then from behind a tree there stepped a brown, fuzzy bear whose head came about as high as Cayke's waist--and Cayke was a small woman. The bear was chubby as well as fuzzy; his body was even puffy, while his legs and arms seemed jointed at the knees and elbows and fastened to his body by pins or rivets. His ears were round in shape and stuck out in a comical way, while his round, black eyes were bright and sparkling as beads. Over his shoulder the little brown bear bore a gun with a tin barrel. The barrel had a cork in the end of it, and a string was attached to the cork and to the handle of the gun. -- The Lost Princess of Oz Bear Center is not a city in the usual sense. It can best be described as a puppet stage or the set of a children’s television show intended to look like a forest. The ground in this circular area is very neatly carpeted with soft green moss. All of the trees that form the perimeter of the clearing are hollow, with circular holes some height up the trunk. Anyone who decides to search Bear Center for a human puppeteer will be disappointed. The plush bears of Bear Center are very much alive. Their most feared punishment is to be sent to America, where they would not be alive and little children would drag them around by their ears. For this reason, the bears are remarkably well behaved. The King of Bear Center is a large Lavender Bear.

  • Winkie Country
    Winkie Country The Winkie Country occupies the western quarter of the land of Oz. The people there prefer the color yellow. This land was previously ruled by a Wicked Witch, but her wicked ways left her so dried up that she dissolved when Dorothy splashed her with water. Ever since then, the Winkies have been ruled by their Emperor, the Tin Woodman. Bear Center "But there are no houses, there are no bears living here at all!" exclaimed Cayke. "Oh indeed!" retorted their captor, and raising his gun he pulled the trigger. The cork flew out of the tin barrel with a loud "pop!" and at once from every hole in every tree within view of the clearing appeared the head of a bear. They were of many colors and of many sizes, but all were made in the same manner as the bear who had met and captured them. -- The Lost Princess of Oz Bear Center is not inhabited by real bears, but stuffed bears of all varieties. Their King is a large Lavender Bear, who squeaks when his body is squeezed. It is considered rude to mention this when it occurs. He has some magical skills, being able to create images of things that he wishes to view, much like Ozma’s Magic Picture. He also has access to the Little Pink Bear, who can answer any question put to it when it’s crank is wound. Bear Center Characters All of the bears in Bear Center are stuffed, and so should be built with the Crafted trait, if not using the Crafted Folk template.
