The Wizard of OZ and the Magic Merry-Go-Round book cover by Roger S. Baum

This is a story about two children who find an old merry-go-round in a junkyard. It appears, at first glance, to be the same one their parents used to ride when they were young. Soon, they discover that it is by traveling with the Wizard of Oz and a special Munchkin to the Emerald City and it becomes extra special when they are able to ride the merry-go-round with their parents. Of course, their grandparents don’t believe them. Their story seems a little too far fetched but, the children prove their point with a surprise ending that will be near and dear to all Oz fans.

This is a beautiful book with full color illustrations plus cover. Its illustrator is Victoria Seitzinger who also illustrated The Green Star of Oz. This is an exceptional Oz book and story and by the way, it matches beautifully with the TOTO IN CANDY LAND book. Rarely, in our opinion, will you find such quality as you will find in these books for the price.
