The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Interactive (MinaLima Edition)
After a cyclone transports her to the land of Oz, Dorothy must seek out the great wizard in order to return to Kansas.
A deluxe gift edition of L. Frank Baum's cherished children's classic, vividly reimagined with beautiful four-colour artwork and nine interactive features created by MinaLima, the award-winning design studio behind the graphics for the Harry Potter film franchise.
Hailed as “America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale” by the Library of Congress, L. Frank Baum's classic story has been enjoyed by generations of young readers since its publication in 1900. One of the most-read children's books, it is a staple of American literature and the inspiration for the beloved 1939 Academy Award-winning movie (widely acclaimed as one of the greatest films of all time), as well as stage plays and musicals.
When a tornado strikes the Kansas prairie, young orphan Dorothy Gale and her little dog Toto are blown away to Oz, a magical place filled with witches, munchkins, winged monkeys, and other unusual inhabitants. Lost and afraid, all Dorothy wants is to return to her Uncle Henry and Auntie Em. But to do so, the Good Witch of the North tells her, she must follow the Yellow Brick Road that leads to the Emerald City. There, she will find the fearsome Wizard of Oz who can help her find her way home.
Along the way, Dorothy encounters three unforgettable characters—the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Cowardly Lion—who join her in her quest. Their journey to the Emerald City, fraught with peril and adventure, teaches them the true meaning of friendship and reminds us all that there is no place like home.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Interactive reimagines the novel's iconic imagery and highlights phrases from the original book in a unique and delightful style that will enchant readers of all ages. Sure to become a collector's item, this deluxe illustrated edition contains specially commissioned artwork and nine exclusive interactive features, including:
- A cyclone map that opens up to reveal the Land of Oz
- A pop-up Yellow Brick Road
- Oz glasses that provide a different look at the world
- Fighting trees with branches that move
- Dorothy's silver shoes that can be clicked together
This marvellous edition will enchant young and adult readers and is a thoughtful gift for any occasion.
