Summary: This book is about a young girl named Dorothy who flies over the rainbow with her dog, Toto, befriends a Tin Man, a Scarecrow, and a Lion on a yellow brick road to the Emerald City, and defeats a wicked witch before meeting a Wizard and learning that there's no place like home.

Personal

Reaction: This is a classic book/movie. I can remember seeing this on television. I am glad that it still airs on television even today so that my children can enjoy it.

Extension Ideas: 1. Children could act this out. 2. Have children write what they would do if they were lost.
