Illustrated by
Robert Sabuda.
No other pop-up edition of The Wizard of Oz has been so elaborately and carefully constructed as this one. This book is as much a fond tribute to W. W. Denslow as to Baum, for Sabuda lovingly copied the original pictures as color linoleum cuts and depicts details even Denslow missed. Baum himself would have been enchanted with this inventive interpretation of his famous fairy tale.
