Sweet adaptation of the children's story... NOT THE MOVIE. Keep that in mind, folks! The art is just as precious and fun as can be, and this is pretty kid friendly!

Art was impeccable. Story was (obviously) a little predictable. Not that the previous point goes against it, but several moments just didn't sit well with me how certain themes/messages were conveyed.

Hoopla took it back. I might return.

wished there was more character development and the ending felt rushed; appreciated that the character's backstories were expanded though

My wife and I took turns reading this with our 3 year old son and we had a great time. It's all the classic story from the original book along with beautiful quirky art that seems like a fresh take while looking just like you had imagined at the same time. Looking forward to the other Oz books getting the same treatment.

Great graphics that do the original story justice - a bit creepy too.
