This is a children’s classic for a reason. It’s got a fast-paced, fantastical story that changed the game for children’s books. I feel like a lot of the meaning behind the story went over my head as a kid so it was nice rereading it as an adult. I also feel like a children’s book should be meaningful for children, not just for adults. I wish there was more world building and description too.

This came along with my Kindle edition of Wicked, so I thought I would go ahead and read it. I haven't read it since I was a kid. A nice surprise to come across after finishing Wicked.

Classic/Children's Lit: I had never read this classic, and it was a quick, easy, and fun read. I read Wicked in the past year or so, and I especially loved seeing all of the connections between the two novels that I had not previously realized. I loved Wicked, but having only seen the movie adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, I now realize that I missed out on a lot of connections that were based on the book itself.
