The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

 If you are an elementary school teacher is grades 3/4 and up, this is a must have for your library or classroom. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, adapted from Frank Baum's masterpiece gets adapted for the comic book universe. Author Eric Shanower and artist Skottie Young infuse new energy and ideas into this timeless story. The art is endearing and the characters and plot, while familiar, have enough twists and turns to make this feel like a something you are reading for the first time. 


There are three volumes of the series available. Volume 1 is also out in paperback, which will save you a few $$ (although if it is for your classroom, you might want to get the HC). 


 Start there, and consider picking up the monthly comic as an additional alternative to your traditional classroom library.
