Chronicle Toward Books Ozma of Oz (Oz #3)
Readers of all ages will welcome the chance to be reunited with Dorothy Gale and such beloved characters as the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion, as well as to meet new favorites such as the Hungry Tiger, whose appetite is never satisfied; Princess Langwidere, who has thirty heads; Billina, a talking chicken; and Tiktok, a mechanical man.
Blown overboard while sailing with her uncle, Dorothy finds herself in the fairy realm of Ev. She sets out with her friends to rescue the Queen of Ev and her ten children, who have been imprisoned by the cruel Nome King. But even Ozma, the wise Ruler of Oz, is no match for the clever king, and it's up to Dorothy to save everyone from terrible danger. But will the Nome King's enchantments be too much even for the plucky little girl from Kansas?

Oh Billina! Billina is such a sweetie! I imagined she had an African American accent- makes her conversations more interesting.I love this whole ceries.
Shortly into reading Ozma of Oz I started having strange flashbacks. You know those kind of flashbacks when parts of your youth you have forgotten come creeping in and making you think.. did this happen or was it deja vu?Turns out - it did happen! This book was the biggest influence on Disney's 1985 movie, Return to Oz. I knew the changing heads woman was something I hadn't thought up of on my own!So, once my curiosity was appeased I settled in to enjoy the wildly fun ride Ozma of Oz gave me.
3.5 stars.Slower and bit more "obvious" in the plot line, but still an enjoyable installment in the series! I particularly loved Tik-Tok describing Smith and Tinker--falling into paintings and building a ladder to the moon? WHERE IS THIS IN FULL STORY FORM, I DEMAND IT. <3
I just finished reading Ozma of Oz, third book in the Oz series by L. Frank Baum. There was a funny quote near the end.

There are a number of such youths in our country today!I like the Oz books quite a bit so far, although I was a little distracted by the way Dorothy spoke in this book, leaving out vowels all over the place, pronouncing
After I finished the previous book of the series my reaction was, "Where the heck is Cowardly Lion and more importantly Dorothy?" I am an adult of twenty first century, but the reactions of kids of the early twentieth century were very similar. In fact L. Frank Baum admitted this in the preface for this installment. And so the author had to include these in this book somehow. He did, which gradually lead to overpopulation of the Land of Oz in the following books: more characters were introduced,
Another fun instalment in the Oz series - so far, I've vastly preferred the sequels to the original. I have so much fun reading with the Spider, and discovering all of these older books that I was never exposed to as a child. I love that she really gets a lot of the humour in the books that we read now, and I love every time that I have to stop reading. I love that we have the same weird sense of humour. Our favourite line, right at the end: I've married a man who owns nine cows.". Living the
