Who is your favorite Oz character?
Michael (8): "Scarecrow, because he's not smart. Not yet..."
Daniel (8): "I like the Scarecrow, the Lion, and Toto. I can't choose! The Lion is funny, Scarecrow has good ideas, and Toto just barks."
Evy (10): "The Lion."
Mom's Notes: I had never read this until now. We picked it up because of our weather study, because they put on the play in the Sweet Home Alaska book we just read, and because the younger kids are auditioning to be in an Eagle Mountain city production of the play this summer! We know the classic movie very well, so it was very interesting to read the original story. We also discussed the silver standard and the economic/political allusions in the book.
