I am older than I should be for reading this book the first time. However it was on my daughters book shelf and I had never read it so figured 'why not?'.

I got to say I sorta enjoyed it. For a book of that time period it was pretty descriptive and interesting.

I love how the tin man, lion and scarecrow wants the one thing that they already have inside but they have to still get the great and terrible Oz to give them physical forms of these items when they truly had them all along but were not confident enough in themselves to realize it.

I think a great descriptive book to read to a younger child to help peek their imaginations.
