Product Description
Synopsis
The Wizard of Oz turns 100 this year, and 30 of today's top names in children's books go all out to celebrate. To commemorate this milestone birthday, award-winning authors and illustrators have created personal and original text and art exclusively for this homage to the enchanted land that inspired them and helped shape their imaginations. Discover Oz through the eyes of some of the best talents as they draw from their childhood memories of the wonderful, magical world that touched their lives in a remarkable way. This lavishly designed and richly illustrated volume is the perfect tribute to one of the most beloved stories of all time. Proceeds from sales of Oz: The Hundredth Anniversary Celebration will benefit Reading Is Fundamental (RIF), the nation's oldest and most influential charity devoted to children's literacy.

Gorgeous Gift Book
24 Oct 2000
Format:Hardcover
This book has art and stories from some of my most favorte children's book creators--people like Madeleine L'Engle, Eric Carle, Paul Zelinsky, Chris Van Allsburg. All of them show how Oz entered their imagination and influenced them. You can really see how passionate about it they are--plus they donated their work (to support Reading Is Fundamental). It's a great gift for anyone who likes Oz.
Fabulous Find for lLovers of OZ

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is truly a celebration. Multiple writers and artists have shared what Baum's stories meant to them and how they interpret the kingdom of OZ as adults now. I first read the series as a grade school boy in the fifties and still will return to the stories from time to time. I am sharing them with my grandchildren at this time and it is such a joy to see them as captivated as I was so long ago!
