I hate to rate this so low, because I loved the whimsical artwork, but the stilted and repetitive writing just left me cold. I guess it's supposed to be a faithful adaptation of the original, which I have never read. If the writing from the original is anything like this, I think I'll pass. ( )

Really good comic version based on the book with little to no errors. Makes you wonder why there has been no film to have an accurate version with it's various characters and places. Also, reading this, it made me realize the Wicked Witch of the West has a much smaller part than modern-day adaptations lead you to believe. ( )

I have read this to my children a handful of times since the beginning of the year, and I have to admit that I found the first read-through a bit of a chore.

But, their eagerness to re-read this every other night has worn me down.

I originally found the mix of Baum’s turn-of-the-century text and modern illustrations to be rough to read aloud, but over time, I have settled into a groove of performance.

Honestly, to a certain degree, most media created around 1900 was highly theatrical. So, reading about a nonsense world with nonsense creatures with nonsense rules, requires a bit of performance to truly appreciate.

I have only ever taken part in the Land of Oz via the quintessential film from ‘39; a twisted-but-great follow-up of Return to Oz in ‘85; and now this graphic novel, I have come to realize that Frank’s got a lot more still hiding in the original story that I may need to check out. ( )

I wasn't very interested in the story, but I couldn't resist the artwork. Scottie Young's drawing is delightful, and the colors are cozy. ( )

loved this illustrated take on a classic novel. went right along with the book. the colors are so vivid and imaginative too! highly recommend for any aged reader. :) ( )
