DESCRIPTION:
Amazon Customer said Poor Quality Printed Edition. The quality of this edition is very poor. When I did a search for this title I didn't see any publishers I recognized, so I ordered this version. It is a strange copy with almost non-existent margins, long text lines, and a thin cover.

Every page was an adventure. I would not recommend this book for small children, unless they are very well supervised, since the pages could rip or get ruined. I did look at the book with some of my nephews, who were enjoying looking at it with me. They loved seeing the pictures and hearing the story (I shortened the story). I went through and read the story myself afterwards. I have seen other pop up books by Robert Sabuda, and I have been very impressed. He is a great artist, and is
(Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter. W. Glorious red poppies wave seductively in a field. Denslow's original art, Sabuda adds a third dimension that would have rocked Denslow's--and Baum's--world. And the Emerald City positively glitters with green, especially when young readers try on the special tinted "Spectacles for You" provided in a pocket on the page. A rapidly spinning cyclone actually casts a breeze over the startled reader's face. The abridged text, provided in minibooklets set onto each page, covers eno
