About This Book

A group of familiar Oz characters — including Dorothy, Trot and the Wizard — set out on a journey across strange regions to secure a special, magical present for Princess Ozma. Their expedition leads through Mount Munch, the Forest of Gugu and an island where a magic flower grows, and brings them into contact with mischief-making creatures and enchanted companions such as the Glass Cat, the Patchwork Girl, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. Episodes mix peril and whimsy, hinge on inventive uses of magic and mistaken possessions, and conclude in a celebratory birthday gathering that reinforces bonds of friendship and generosity.
