This might be the first Oz novel that was fine on its own even before Dorothy showed up. And even though the book is named for him, the Scarecrow isn‘t really that important to the overall plot.

November 15: #endpages - #OZ books really have the best end pages. They feature the cast of characters together in fun & interesting ways. Like in “Scarecrow” ... conga line, anyone? #lilbookishthanks #vintageoz #vintagebooks #oldbooks #illustrations
pickWhen I was a kid Narnia, Middle-earth, and Oz were all equally weighted and the characters and locations all mingled freely in my head. I read through Baum's 14, but haven't revisited them since I was in maybe 3rd grade. I've been rereading them in 40-page chunks between novels and just finished up book 9. When I was a kid these were adventure novels, now they're just goofy low-stakes fun. #OzReread
This made me chuckle. Apparently the marvelous land of Oz has lost some of its luster for ol' Button-Bright. #OzReread
