Book summary

Carried off by a tornado with her little dog Toto, Dorothy, a girl from Kansas, lands in a marvellous country. To get home, she must go and see the great Wizard of Oz, and she travels with a scarecrow who would like a brain, a Tin Woodman who would like a heart and a lion who would like some courage.

This tale full of fantasy is about friendship, courage and self-confidence.

Simply written, in short sentences, it is an ideal first classic to read in the language you are learning.
