French illustrator Coudray creates a bright, carnival-like mood for this picture book adaptation of L. Frank Baum-s first Oz story, part of the My First Classics series. Filippini-s retelling moves briskly through the story, including elements from Baum-s original (such as a run-in with the bear/tiger hybrid Kalidahs) that will be new to readers who only know the 1939 film. Coudray doesn-t let the story-s darker moments get too scary-the first time readers see the Wicked Witch of the West she-s already melting, -like sugar in a cup of hot milk,- thanks to Dorothy-and her playful characterizations contribute to the upbeat, magical atmosphere: her Scarecrow resembles a friendly, scruffy clown, while the Tin Woodman-s limbs incorporate cans of salmon, corn, and chile con carne. A lively and visually distinctive return to Oz. Ages 5-7. (Aug.)

A unique and colorful illustrated interpretation of the very popular Wizard of Oz The story tells the adventures of little Dorothy and her friends, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodsman, and the Cowardly Lion, all searching for the Wizard of Oz. Each character needs a magic gift from the Wizard: a way back home, a brain, a heart, and courage, respectively. With an explosion of stunning, bright colors and creative landscapes, Elodie Coudray beautifully illustrates this retelling of the literary classic. Anouk Filippini writes children's books and for television. She loves to rewrite and adapt texts for children. She is the author of Violetta , licensed from Disney, and of the Agatha Mystery series.

Equally passionate about books, she made her first mark in the world of children's literature in 2007 and now splits her time between these two worlds.
