Naturally, I brought up The Wizard of Oz. Well, like most things on my absent-minded professor-like desk and bookcases, it got buried under papers, “treasures”, and other books.Ī few months later, my boys and I were chatting one day about favorite books that were turned into movies. I placed this book on one of our bookshelves with the thought of using it for a read-aloud very soon. One day while browsing our local library’s resale shop, I was lucky to discover a double book ( The Wizard of Oz on one end and The Jungle Book on the flip side) for only ten cents! Two classics for a dime! That book (along with three other similar styles) was quickly deposited into my bag. I knew that I’d enjoy sharing this gem with my children. Those ruby slippers were so glittery!Īs I grew older, I read the book and continued to revisit this movie and the magical land of Oz. My first love of this tale came at an early age when I happened to catch the replay of the movie on T.V.
