The Wizard of Oz Hardcover: The Classic Edition (Charles Santore Children's Classics) Hardcover – Abridged, May 19, 2015

I love this artist. One of my favorite stories I get to share with my grandchildren

I just love the artistic pictures in this book, colorful and detailed. I read the actual novel but this one was bought specifically for its illustrations. After reading Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin I wanted a shorter version to compare to the classic Wizard of Oz. This is perfect length and just captivating. I am glad I can read it each year to my students. Will show the movies as well.

This book and its illustrations are just stunning

I collect childrens' picture books. This has beautiful illustrations done by Charles Santore. One of my favorites!

I was satisfied with the appearance and the story

This book is wonderful. I have been reading it aloud to our 5 year old, and she loves it. It has just the right amount of text per page to keep her attention while also developing her attention span.

If you are looking for a nicely done – but VERY small – copy of L. Frank Baum’s “The Wizard of Oz”, then this Collectors’ Library edition may suit your needs. While this classic book needs no review, individuals seeking to purchase a copy of “The Wizard of Oz” may be interested in these observations. Because the actual book measures 4” X 6”, the print is extremely small – no larger than 8-point type. If your visual acuity is less than perfect, you may have difficulty reading the print. The actual book is lovely; pages are clean-cut and gold-edged. Illustrations, similar to line drawings, are appealing and nicely colored. I would recommend this edition of “The Wizard of Oz” to individuals needing a very portable copy of the unabridged work. For those who are building a library of classics, I recommend looking at other publishers’ offerings.

What a great book! My daughter enjoyed reading it.Beautiful illustrations and well written ❤️My daughter is 9 but I’m sure that kids all ages will love this 📖
