This is the place to collect posts on The Road To Oz, our April read for the Ozathon.
Here’s what I’ve gathered. Please let me know if I missed your post!
Be sure to visit The Book Stop in May for posts about The Emerald City of Oz, the final book in this stage of the journey. Even if you didn’t like the last two books so much, you might still find yourself enjoying this one, with which Baum (unsuccessfully) tried to bring the Oz series to a close.
Here’s a link to my post:

Thanks, added it to the link!
I’ve been keeping up! I’m also terrible at blogging these days.
Whenever you have a chance, it’s always nice to hear from you.
There are a lot of puns in The Emerald City of Oz! I assume Baum put these in because they amused him and maybe he knew there was a lot of reading aloud by parents (such as my great-grandfather who had seven children) . . .
Baum loved puns. He put them in all the books but in Emerald City he really indulges himself!
Hi Lory, I have started The Road to Oz but not quite finished yet! 😅
Keep plugging along, you’ll get there…
