The road to Oz Book

Another trip to Oz for Dorothy and Toto lovers will be pleased to hear that her little dog is along for the ride again this time.

Speaking of Toto, I'm slightly puzzled as to why every other animal arriving in Oz suddenly develops the capacity for human speech but Toto sticks to barks and woofs. Perhaps he feels doggy talk is superior to people chatter...

I enjoyed most of the new characters introduced in this volume, particularly the Shaggy Man (cripes, Scoob!), but found Button-Bright to be largely pointless. Baum makes a big deal about his amnesia and I was expecting there to be some kind of revelation as to his true identity at some point, but it never arrived. Still, this was an enjoyable adventure for the little ones, nonetheless.
