Synopsis
From the book:Perhaps I should admit on the title page that this book is "By L. Frank Baum and his correspondents," for I have used many suggestions conveyed to me in letters from children. Once on a time I really imagined myself "an author of fairy tales," but now I am merely an editor or private secretary for a host of youngsters whose ideas I am requestsed to weave into the thread of my stories. These ideas are often clever. They are also logical and interesting. So I have used them whenever I could find an opportunity, and it is but just that I acknowledge my indebtedness to my little friends.
Is The Emerald City of Oz appropriate for my child?
Suitable for most readers 6 and up.
This is a gentle, imaginative fantasy adventure with whimsical characters and mild peril. While war is mentioned in the tags, Baum's treatment is age-appropriate with no graphic violence.
What to know going in
