I received this book as a particularly thoughtful gift on my tenth birthday nearly twenty years ago, and it continues as one of my all-time favorites to this day. Michael Hague's charming, earthy, watercolor illustrations lend a bit of folksy magic to this classic tale that all but transport a person to Oz itself. I keep the book in my children's library, but my confession is that sometimes, on particularly drizzly days, I indulge myself in a satisfying re-enjoyment of this book, all by myself.
