Fun easy read with a dash of 1900's liberal politics.

This book bugged the crap out of me. I am not a huge fan of the movie; books and movies rarely have anything in common I figured that this would be a good book to try for a classic children's book (part of the Back to the Classics Reading Challenge). In the 1900's children's books tried to shove the author's version of morality down the children's throat. You can definitely see that in this book, it is often extremely repetitive.
The worse part about the book is that Dorthy is such an insipid little twit. 'Oh, no. I have been enslaved and accidentally melted the witch. Are you ok? I feel so bad.' Please, nobody is going to feel that way, especially a little kid.
