Easier Classics: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

A classic tale is introduced to a new audience in this simplified retelling, specifically designed to be accessible to people with a range of learning disabilities and difficulties. 

During a storm, Dorothy and her beloved dog Toto are carried far away to the Land of Oz, where they meet a Scarecrow with no brain, a Lion with no courage and a Tin Man with no heart.

Together, the new friends travel along the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City in search of the Wizard of Oz whom, Dorothy hopes, will help to guide her home.
