A beautiful book that finds each pop-up page bringing to life scenes from one of the greatest children’s stories of all time. The story is told in minibooklets set onto each page; but it is the scale and artistry of the pop-ups that is awe-inspiring. An incredible whirling tornado whisks Dorothy off in the first page and the jaw-dropping effects just keep going. Each page is an aesthetic experience in itself including a stunning Emerald City centrefold (enhanced by looking through pair of green glassesl), a melting Wicked Witch, Glinda’s castle and the fantastic sight of the humbug wizard floating away in his shiny green, gold, and blue hot-air balloon. About the Author Robert Sabuda has established a name as an outstanding and imaginative creator of pop-up books with such popular titles as The Movable Mother Goose, The 42 Days of Christmas and Cookie Count. Reviews Baum’s classic is an eye-opener for those who know it only through countless viewings of the 1939 movie. While the basic plots are identical-Dorothy, Kansas, twister, Oz, Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman, Cowardly Lion, melted witch, clicking heels, return home-the novel is vastly simpler and waaayyy slower. The biggest disappointment is the Wicked Witch of the West. Deliciously evil on screen, the worst thing she does here is swat Dorothy with an umbrella. After receiving their brains, courage, etc., Dorothy and company have more strange adventures here, but they’re entirely forgettable. VERDICT Narrator Tara Sands does an accomplished job of channeling each character according to Baum’s descriptions, and this production will charm small children, but older kids and curious adults should stick to the film.
