Brooke Jorden “Lit for Little Hands: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”

An activity board book for young readers, Brooke Jorden’s adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Ozteaches them about brains, heart, and courage while cherishing the message: “There’s no place like home!”

“There’s no place like home!” L. Frank Baum’s classic novel comes to life for young children! Wheels, pull tabs, and other interactive elements invite kids to spin with Dorothy and Toto in the twister, swing an axe with the Tin Woodman, and melt the Wicked Witch of the West.

Much more than a primer, Lit for Little Hands: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz tells the actual story in simple, engaging prose, and fans of the novel will be delighted by the book’s attention to detail, clever use of original dialogue, and colorful illustrations by Olga Skomorokhova. And the book’s use of super-sturdy board means everyone can enjoy this tale of brains, heart, and courage over . . . and over . . . and over again!
