Inspired by Matt's photo last night of a rainbow view from our backyard during a much-needed monsoon rainstorm. 💛💜🧡
Judy sang to us,
“Somewhere over the rainbow ...“
Or was it Dorothy?

pickPrincess Ozma has been kidnapped, & all the magical artifacts of Oz have vanished. Dorothy puts together a team to rescue the lost princess.
I remember loving this one as a kid, because it‘s a dramatic search & rescue, all the girls are together, & my favorite animals. And I adored the bears. I also appreciated the resolution with Ugu. But I hadn‘t remembered the Lion or Scraps being quite so condescending to every one around them. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickI really liked this one! There‘s an actual plot and a reason they can‘t just fix everything with one of their magical objects (and the magic belt seems to exist again, though of course it doesn‘t work the way it did originally). Plus there‘s lots of Scraps being smarter than everybody. I didn‘t like the way the animals were so mean to each other, though. #BeyondtheYellowBrickRoad
Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer‘s wife.

so-soThe royal kingdom of Pingaree is invaded & decimated. It‘s up to young Prince Inga, visiting King Rinkitink, & an irascible talking goat named Bilbil to rescue the people & restore the kingdom.
A fun, solid plot w/ interesting characters. I loved Prince Inga & how determined he was to rescue his people. But I disliked how Rinkitink was entirely useless, & I feel like I would have liked this better if it was just Inga & Bilbil together.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
pickTrot & Cap‘n Bill have fallen through a great whirlpool, & escaped into a magical land they don‘t know. Their travels will bring them new friends & old, & of course a love story & a political coup.
I love Trot getting to know as much as we do about Oz. The friendship between her & Bill is genuinely delightful. & I loved seeing a new corner of Oz. But there are recurring issues of beauty = goodness & ugly/disfigurement = evil. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickLots of fun new characters in this—I liked Prince Inga, King Rinkitink, and especially Bilbil the talking goat. It has an actual plot, too, which made it even more fun. However, Oz is barely relevant. The title is strange since not only does Rinkitink only spend a couple of chapters in Oz, he‘s not even the main character. Why not call it Prince Inga in Oz? #BeyondtheYellowBrickRoad
