Ver cómo se encontraba al espantapájaros, al leñador de hojalata y al león cobarde. He de reconocer que me suelen encantar los libros que son itinerantes, me hacen mantener muchísimo el interés, y éste, se suma a los libros que me encantan💖⁣

Robert's pop-up art is incredible, especially Oz's hot-air balloon and the tornado at the beginning. This is not a perfect adaptation, but I enjoyed it so much. Many of the pop-ups in the book are intricate and might not be the best for younger children. You have to be careful when you close the book. We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed.

Over the course of his life, Baum raised fancy poultry, sold fireworks, managed an opera house, opened a department store, and an edited a newspaper before finally turning to writing. In 1900, he published his best known book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Eventually he wrote fifty-five novels, including thirteen Oz books, plus four "lost" novels, eighty-three short stories, more than two hundred poems, an unknown number of scripts, and many miscellaneous writings. Baum died on May 6, 1919. He is buried in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, in Glendale, California. Lo compré en una feria del libro el año pasado. No conocía mucho la historia; me sonaba Dorothy, el mago de Oz, los zapatos rojos... Y cuál fue mi sorpresa cuando descubrí que NO, los zapatos, en la historia original son plateados (los rojos aparecen en la adaptación cinematográfica. Los libros que veáis con zapatos rojos, son adaptaciones de la peli🙈). ⁣ De lo que decía que me sonaba, el mago no es cómo creía, pero eso lo descubriréis leyendo el libro, porque sería spoiler, pero me han encantado los personajes principales. Todos aportaban a la trama y han hecho de la historia algo especial. ⁣Me parece que trasmite cosas buenísimas. Que tenga ilustraciones creo que es un plus, hace ágil la lectura y vas viendo algunas escenas que, a mí, me han sacado más de una sonrisa 😊⁣ Robert Sabuda has created a resplendent pop-up version of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the original publication. This glorious edition is told in a shorter version of L. Frank Baum's original text, with artwork in the style of W. W. Denslow. With sparkling touches of colored foil and Emerald City eyeglasses, this classic tale is certain to find an honored place on the family bookshelf.
