De tovenaar van Oz. Dit boek is een klassieker uit de literatuur,vrij navertelt door Geronimo Silton(de schrijver).Boordevol kleurrijke illustratie.Het verhaal is zeer avontuurlijk en sprookjesachtig.Het gaat over een meisje die allemaal vrienden tegen komt die allemaal iets willen/nodig hebben en zij ook daarom gaan ze naar de tovenaar van Oz. maar als ze er zijn dat is er een hele plottwist.Door die plottwist is het ook heel spannend boek.

eigenlijk gewoon een retelling van the wizard of oz maar dan met muizen in de hoofdrol.

zo tegenstrijdig ook als je kijkt naar de traumatische dingen die zich op de set van de film afspeelden.
Judy Garland, rest in peace, I stand with you sweet soul <3.

Purchased a copy as this was such a good fit for Miss 5. She loves the story of The Wizard of Oz and I'd been struggling to find a mid-point between a long picture book version and the original novel. This full colour adaptation stays remarkably close to the story (there are a few deviations such as the Queen of the Field Mice becoming Queen of the Wild Rabbits) with the advantage of funky coloured font use for various words on the page and double-page illustrations.

Miss 5 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Geronimo Stilton’s whimsical retelling of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a delightful adventure that breathes fresh life into L. Frank Baum's classic tale. With clever wordplay and a comical twist, Stilton transforms Dorothy’s journey into a laugh-out-loud escapade filled with a zany Scarecrow, an overly emotional Tin Man, and a cowardly Lion who surprises everyone with his hidden courage. The vibrant illustrations and humorous antics keep readers engaged while infusing modern charm into the timeless message of friendship and self-discovery. This fantastic retelling is a joyous romp down the yellow brick road, perfect for fans of all ages!

Het genre van dit boek is fantasieverhaal/avontuur.

ik vond dit boek erg goed ik heb dit boek al eerder voorgelezen in mijn voorgaande stages en dit werd erg goed ontvangen. het mooie aan dit boek vind ik dat het op de stijl geschreven is van de geronimo stilton serie maar wel de rode draad van het verhaal van L. Frank Baum bevat.

I really enjoyed this and hope to get my hands on some more Geronimo Stilton Classic Tales!

Recommended to those who enjoy classic stories with a bit of jazzed up font and illustration.

Het verhaal gaat over Dorothy, een muizenmeisje uit Kansas. Als er op een dag twee tornado's tegelijk langs haar boerderij komen, vliegt Dorothy met huis en al de lucht in. Ze landt in een vreemd land: Het land van Oz. Gelukkig is haar hondje Toto bij haar.
In het land van Oz woont een machtige tovenaar en in iedere windstreek woont een heks. Twee slechte en twee goede. Eén van de heksen is verslagen op het moment dat het huis van Dorothy na de storm op haar terecht kwam. Alleen haar zilveren schoentjes bleven achter.
Op die schoentjes gaat Dorothy op pad.
Onderweg komt ze vijanden tegen, maar ontmoet ze ook drie goede vrienden. De vogelverschrikker, de blikken houthakker en de laffe leeuw. Alledrie gaan ze met haar mee naar de tovenaar van Oz. Dorothy wil dat de tovenaar haar de weg naar huis wijst, de vogelverschrikker wil graag verstand, de blikken houthakker een hart en de laffe leeuw moed.
Onderweg blijkt al snel dat ze dat eigenlijk allemaal al hebben, zonder dat ze het zelf beseffen.
De tovenaar van Oz wil hen alleen geven wat ze willen als ze de laatste slechte heks verslaan. Het lijkt een onmogelijke opgave, maar samen staan de vrienden sterk.

The same story with "mouse" inserted here and there, and the standard Geronimo Stilton colours and drawings. Cute, but nothing special.

This is a classic American fairytale about a girl named Dorothy and her journey to Oz, trying to find her way home because a tornado blew her and her dog away to a faraway land. These two books are similar because both of the girls were slowed down by a field of flowers, which made them sleepy.

My favorite part of this book was when mouse Dorthy met Tin Man because I got really excited to see what happened next. It’s about Dorthy getting her silver shoes back from The Evil Witch Of All !

Very nice artwork, though basically making Dorothy a mouse and re-telling the story verbatim seemed a little lazy.
