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

Review
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. (Graphic novel. 8+) (Kirkus Reviews) --This text refers
