Title: Definitely has its moments
Product review: Like too many Oz books (including Baum's), it's pretty much a wander-around-meeting-weirdos story with minimal plot. But this one has some great stuff in it. Starting with Pigasus, the flying pig. When I want to explain, briefly, to a novice, what's great about RP Thompson, I describe Pigasus. And Ruggedo's adventures are absorbing, and we get the best pictures of him, cowering and snarling. PIRATES is his last major appearance; in HANDY MANDY he's a bit part. PIRATES is also his most sympathetic appearance. We are actually glad, for instance, when he gets to eat and rest well as King of Menankypoo rather than sleeping on the ground. And you'll cheer for him when he uses the Standing Stick on the pirates.
