I read this book because I have watched many versions of the movie and so I wanted to see the similarities, but one of the biggest differences are Dorothy‘s shoes. In the book her shoes are actually silver but in the movie they are red, I find that the red shoes look better but I like the book more then the movies because it was descriptive.

Watched half of this last night and the other half this morning. It‘s a Hallmark movie. The main character‘s name is Darcy Gale and there are so many references to The Wizard of Oz that make it really cute. I may have to watch it again to find them all. I really liked it. #WinterGames2020 #MerryReaders #HolidayMovie

Anna Hathaway does a wonderful job narrating this tale. As I had never read the book before I was shocked to realise that Dorothy's slippers were originally silver and not ruby! 🤯 Those shoes are so iconic, I never imagined they could be anything but.

TEArificbooks Yup they changed it for the movie. The red stood out against the yellow brick road better. 5y
Cortg Interesting! The red ruby slippers are at the National Museum of American History in DC 😀 5y

lucifare I remember my sister and I reading this when I was a kid and I was so confused and insisted that we had the wrong book because I couldn‘t imagine the slippers being anything other than red! 😂 5y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @lucifare glad it's not just me. 😄 5y
Aims42 If you haven‘t read the tagged book, I highly recommend it. It was very interesting and made me love the story of ‘The Wizard of Oz‘ so much more 💚 5y

Adventure

July 20, 2019 - August 5, 2019

I chose this book I wanted to re-read it.

The magical land of Oz is whisked away from Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her friend, Toto, at home when a tornado rips through Kansas. To meet the Wizard, they follow the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City, and on their way they find a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) who needs a brain, a heart-missing Tin Man (Jack Haley) and a courageous Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr).
