Everyone today seems to be aware of the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz but only because of the film made in the 1930's starring Judy Garland. The film was fairly faithful to the story but differed in some ways. The entire collection of the Oz stories is a splendid read for today's children. All of the characters are amazing and some of the stories would make really exciting motion pictures with plenty of action and some really terrifying scenes. The book, Rinkitink in Oz, is one of these. It would make a great video game! I highly recommend these books to everyone, young and old. It was wonderful to read them all again and I am so glad to have this collection on my Kindle!
