I read this without the accompanying tape (haven't got a player handy). Originally this was released with the songs from the 1939 film back in the late 1960s. It was followed by three follow up Disney book-and-record sets.
What makes these adaptations important are they recycle music and character models from various aborted attempts to adapt the Oz series by the studio in both animation and live action.
Disney would not get an actual Oz production out the gate until 1985's 'Return to Oz' (probably the most faithful adaptation the books will ever see).
This particular book is a break neck adaptation of Baum's basic plot, retaining interestingly enough 2 of the Witch's attacks against Dorothy and her friends are present, as well her torture of them.

Literally adorable?? Its so nice to read something where the thinking is done for me fr???
An absolute classic, although Ozma of Oz was my favorite of the series.
In broad strokes, pretty much the same plot as the movie, but also adds a lot of depth, including the backstories of Dorothy's companions. Really enjoyed it! Has a real fairy tale flavor, right down to the magical quest and supernatural assistance.
Still wish I knew the answer to the question "Why water?" though.
