Reach for this book when your child expresses a deep fascination with how their favorite movies or plays were first created. This historical exploration takes families back to 1902, long before the famous 1939 film, to discover the original musical extravaganza of The Wizard of Oz. It highlights the collaborative spirit of the theater, showing how a beloved story evolved through the contributions of ghostwriters, composers, and comedic actors like Fred Stone and David C. Montgomery. Parents will appreciate how the book introduces themes of artistic evolution and the ephemeral nature of performance. It is a wonderful choice for children aged 7 to 12 who enjoy learning about the 'behind the scenes' history of popular culture. By focusing on the stage production rather than just the plot of the novel, it encourages kids to see how creativity involves constant adaptation and teamwork.
