The Wizard of Oz

Chapters
Chapter 1
The Cyclone and the Land of Oz
Pictures 1 to 6
A cyclone lifts Dorothy’s Kansas farmhouse into the sky and sets it down in the Land of the Munchkins, right on top of the Wicked Witch of the East. The Good Witch of the North gives Dorothy the Witch’s silver shoes and a kiss for protection, and sends her down the road of yellow brick.

Chapter 2
New Friends on the Yellow Brick Road
Pictures 7 to 12
Dorothy lifts a Scarecrow off his pole, oils a Tin Woodman rusted stiff in the forest, and is roared at by a Cowardly Lion — until she smacks him on the nose. All three join her, hoping the Wizard will give them brains, a heart and courage.
Chapter 3
Danger on the Yellow Brick Road
Pictures 13 to 18
The Lion leaps a great gulf, the Tin Woodman chops a tree into a bridge, and the friends escape the fearsome Kalidahs. A raft carries them down the river, a stork rescues the Scarecrow, and a field of sleepy poppies nearly ends the journey.
Chapter 4
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Pictures 19 to 25
The Queen of the Field Mice and her subjects pull the sleeping Lion to safety. At the Emerald City the Guardian locks green spectacles on everyone, and the great Oz appears to each visitor in a different shape — then sends them west to defeat the Wicked Witch.
Chapter 5
The Wicked Witch of the West
Pictures 26 to 31
The one-eyed Witch sends wolves, crows, bees and at last the Winged Monkeys against the travellers. Dorothy is made to work in the castle kitchen, the Witch tricks away one silver shoe, and a bucket of water melts the Witch away completely.
Chapter 6
The Secret of the Great Oz
Pictures 32 to 38
The Winkies mend the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, the Winged Monkeys fly everyone back, and Toto knocks over a screen to reveal that the Great Oz is an ordinary little man. He gives out brains, a heart and courage — but his balloon floats away without Dorothy.

There is no schedule to keep up with. Put on the chapter that matches the illustration in front of you and stay with it as long as you like — a single page across a whole afternoon, or several in one sitting. Pause, rewind, or set the story aside and color in quiet. The book is yours either way.
