Hey ya! In this post let us talk about the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This book written by L.Frank Baum was published in the year 1900. The book had sold 3 million copies by year 1956! It is an absolute must read aloud book for children of all ages.
In this book, Dorothy and her little
dog Toto are in for the ride of their lives when a cyclone drops them off in
the Land of Oz. Dorothy makes friends with the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and the
Cowardly Lion on way to meet the Wizard and find a way home.
The Scarecrow, who believes he has no
brains, comes up with clever solutions to several problems on their journey.
The Tin Woodman, who believes he lacks a heart, cries when he hurts even the
tiniest creature. The Cowardly Lion, who believes he has no courage, shows
bravery through their journey.
I appreciate
reading this book for multiple reasons. The story plot is simple and
enthralling. The book talks about the qualities each and every one of us possess
regardless of external characteristics. The author has subtly praised the
virtue of friendship, courage, modesty, hard work, patience and perseverance
throughout the book.
My children enjoyed
listening to the book for the world of magic, adventure, good, evil witch and
wizards.
If you haven’t read
the book, treat yourself to it this summer.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is available at amazon.in
The next post will be about how to read aloud, giving each character a voice and identity.
I will try and upload an audio recording of a chapter from the book ‘Winnie the
Pooh’.
Meanwhile, please
share with us your child’s favourite read aloud book. I will publish it with the
next post.
Reading 10 minutes
a day is all it takes to build a life long love for books and make a remarkable
difference to your child’s performance.
