There is a much bigger focus on Dorothy and her companions than the movie ever lets on.

Don't get me wrong, I still watch it from time to time but I have never fangirled over it or anything. Maybe I would change my mind if I read the book, but then again I am not sure I could make myself pick it up. I think the witch/mean woman on the bike still gives me the creeps lol.

It's very different from the books that are written today but I definitely think it's in a good way. Baum was so talented to write a book (and series) that has such staying power. I need to keep going with my reread of all of the books because I know I have some favorites in the middle but I don't remember what they were!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450516531437589191.post-82761078938904401872014-01-30T15:30:26.658-07:002014-01-30T15:30:26.658-07:00Tasha Brandstatter ...

I also played Dorothy (and in the morning performance I was a flying monkey) in the 4th grade, which was more in line with the book.
