The Wizard of Oz is about a young girl named Dorothy and her dog Toto. They live with Dorothy's Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in a small house in Kansas on a farm.
One day a cyclone came and whirled the house up into the air. Dorothy and Toto were the only two in the house. The house landed in a place called Munchkin Land. Dorothy knew she was far away from home. She saw a lot of Munchkins that came to her and said thanks for killing the wicked witch.
A pink bubble came from the sky with a friendly witch inside named Glinda. Dorothy asked how she could get back home. Glinda told her she had to meet with the Wizard in Emerald City and he would help her get back home. Then Glinda made the silver shoes come off the wicked witch's feet and onto Dorothy's feet.
Glinda the friendly witch told Dorothy to follow the yellow brick road and be careful of the wicked witch from the East. Glinda went inside her bubble and up towards the sky and disappeared. The Munchkins told Dorothy good-bye as she headed down the yellow brick road. Dorothy met three friends as she walked down the yellow brick road, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Woodman. She asked them to come along with her because the Wizard was going to help her get back home. The Scarecrow needed a brain, the Lion needed courage, and the Tin Woodman needed a heart.
The wicked witch tried to stop them, but they made it to Emerald City. The Wizard told them that they had to bring back the wicked witch's broom before he could give them what they all needed. They went to the witch's castle and ended up killing her with a splash of water. When she melted, they grabbed the broom and headed to Emerald City.
When Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, and the Tin Woodman made it back to Emerald City, they asked to see the Wizard. The Wizard didn't want to help them even though they brought him back the broom. They found out that he wasn't real, he was a big fake. Dorothy was very upset and started to cry. The Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and Tin Woodman started talking to her so she would feel better. The fake Wizard saw Dorothy crying and said that he would take her back to Kansas himself. Something happened, so the Wizard ended up leaving without her.
All of a sudden, there was Glinda the friendly witch coming down in a bubble to help Dorothy get back home. Dorothy said good-bye to her friends the Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, and the Tin Woodman. Glinda gave her a kiss and told Dorothy to close her eyes, click her heals three times, and say there is no place like home. Dorothy was finally back in Kansas on the farm with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em.
The Wizard of Oz was a very fun book to read. I really enjoyed looking at the movie as well, I've seen it a lot of times with my family. If you haven't read The Wizard of Oz or seen the movie, you are missing out on a big treat. I recommend that you try it for yourself because it is very interesting, fun, and full of excitement.
