From Booklist
Gr. 4-up, younger for reading aloud. As Mark Evan Swartz comments in Oz: Before the Rainbow [BKL O 15 00], L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz "occupies a unique position in the cultural fabric of this country." Editor Peter Glassman (Oz: The Hundredth Anniversary Celebration) calls the story "quintessentially American." Yet it has a universal appeal--which may account for its translation into many different languages. Although children are often first introduced to the Land of Oz by the classic 1939 movie, the original novel and its many sequels have enchanted both young and old over the years. Published for the centennial, several new books commemorate the beloved story. Readers unacquainted with Oz are sure to find a pleasing version; readers who already know the story will find something to delight them all over again.In Oz: The Hundredth Anniversary Celebration, Peter Glassman presents art and words from children's book authors and illustrators who are big fans of Oz and here pay homage to "the enchanted land that inspired them and helped shape their imaginations." The paintings, in each artist's recognizable style, lovingly convey the essence of Oz, making this truly wonderful. Contributions come from Tomie dePaola, who imagines himself going down the yellow brick road instead of Dorothy; Paul O. Zelinsky, who shared the Oz experience with his children; Uri Shulevitz, who escaped from hunger and war during the 1940s in the pages of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ; Richard Egielski, whose childhood defense against the ghastly flying monkeys was to lie absolutely still in bed; Natalie Babbitt, Peter Sis, Bruce Degen, Lloyd Alexander, and many others. Proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to Reading Is Fundamental (RIF).Then there's Robert Sabuda's extraordinary pop-up version. On the first double-page spread, the fearful cyclone whirls up to loom over the tiny farm house in Kansas; in the next spread, the house stands squarely on top of the Wicked Witch of the East. And so it goes, spread after spread. The story itself is condensed and told on foldout booklets attached to the pages. The standout pop-ups are prints created from cut blocks of linoleum, with sparkling touches of colored foil that add pizzazz. Sabuda's art evokes that of Denslow, including the silver, rather than ruby, slippers, and once again, his mastery of his craft enhances and enchants. A good selection for story hours.Also now available is Henry Holt's reissue of its 1982 version of the book, with artwork by the well-known children's book illustrator Michael Hague. It contains several new pictures and a slightly longer profile of Baum. It's certainly not an essential purchase, but it's a gorgeous edition for collections that don't have the earlier volume.Last, but certainly not least, is The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the "100th Anniversary Edition," part of the HarperCollins Books of Wonder imprint. For those who want the look and feel of the 1900 publication, this fills the bill. It's a very handsome facsimile, printed on high-quality paper and containing all of W. W. Denslow's 24 original colorplates and 130 two-color drawings. Long live Dorothy and her stalwart companions. Sally Estes

A lively and charming adaptation of the quintessential American fairytale. Caballero's black-and-white art uses clean lines, bold blacks and pleasingly variegated panel layouts to breathe fresh vigor into Baum's timeless classic. The storyline moves briskly while staying mostly faithful to the original text, though purists might cavil at the telescoping of Dorothy's admittedly redundant journey to Glinda's castle. The real delight here is the re-imagining of beloved characters for the 21st century, ironically reminiscent of Baum's own prairie populism. These Munchkins are no outre Art Deco midgets, but as friendly and familiar as Wal-Mart shoppers. The Tin Man becomes a genial robot with a buzz-saw appendage, and the Scarecrow a likable homeboy. Generous, openhearted Dorothy herself is clearly on the cusp of adolescence, spunky and self-reliant in her boot-cut jeans and Wonder Girl bracelets; and her magical silver shoes (no glittery ruby pumps here!) look comfortable and sturdy, far more sensible for the long trek down the Yellow Brick Road. By no means a substitute for the original, but certainly a worthy companion, and well able to stand on its own.

网友对The Wizard of Oz(两种封面 随机发货)的评论
这个版本的绿野仙踪千万别买,拼写错误太多,看了那么多原版书,这可是头一回遇上!
仔细看了,这本里面有些单词有拼写错误,有一个地方还漏了几个单词,但总体还算不错,字比较大,看起来比较舒服,不过每章的标题居然都没写
里面的插图不错,比较喜欢,初中英文水平的就可以读这本故事书了
挺小挺薄的,很轻很轻的,再生纸么,手感还好
字依然跟小企鹅的一贯传统一样……挺密的
终于等到了降价,原来200多的价格实在吃不消啊!所以一口气两本(和爱丽思梦游仙境)都买了!
果然是经典。创意非常棒,最伟大的纸艺术家。人家的脑袋是怎么长的呢?
不光是纸站立起来,而是通过巧妙的角度折叠联合,变成了整张的方桌,和可以旋转的摩天伦,对了,还有真的会刮起来的龙卷风。
呵呵
虽然以前也看过GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU-POP UP的版本,但是看到这本时还是被吓到--是被其惊艳到。感叹制作此书的人有如此美妙的想法,能将一本普通的书制作成如此让人惊叹的杰作。如果有条件,真心的推荐所有的父母给孩子买一本,孩子会爱不释手,会受到美的熏陶的。没有最赞,只有更赞的好书。5颗星太少,如果有选择,我愿意为这本书投数不清的星星。
在这个系列里,个人认为彼得潘和爱丽丝的机关是最充满惊喜的。
但是《绿野仙踪》的故事最最美妙。
打开第一页,是龙卷风打开了冒险的序幕。然后是一个个奇妙的角色,温暖人心的结局。
配合着各种小机关,不管是成人还是儿童都可以享受到足够的乐趣。
立体书很好玩,每一页都有新的故事,新的样式,这个国内的基本上找不到。也正好可以培养小孩英语,不过文字不是太多。
买之前就一直犹豫,毕竟价格摆在那里,可是今天拿到手一看,惊艳啊!!!
同事都看疯了,看完我的后直接就下单了。
回家拿给妈妈看了,妈妈也很喜欢,又追买了一本,准备过年送给小侄女。正愁没有合适的礼物呢,这个来得太及时了!
尤其第一页的旋风和中间的城堡、倒数第二页的热气球,都精致的让人折服。
真的好喜欢!
书很轻,但纸张不薄,印刷也清楚,也没什么印刷错误。以18元的价格来看,个人觉得性价比挺好。因为是儿童读物,词句比较简单。对于不以英语为母语的外国人来说,可以一口气看下来不打嘣儿。。。总而言之,不错!
同类型的这种外文小说买了不少了,这本印刷一般,也比平时买的其他贵。不过我是冲着书内容来买的,以前看了很喜欢。所以买来收藏。不过这本的确不是收藏好版本。还是那个有插图的好了。
