In 1900 - now over 100 years ago - a man named L. Frank Baum first published his first OZ adventure - The Wizard of Oz.  It was an instant success and heralded as the first truly American fairytale.  It was made into a silent movie in 1902 and then into the ever-popular MGM classic in 1939, not only with sound but with COLOR!

L. Frank Baum published thirteen other OZ adventure books before his death in 1919 (actually, the last of his books was published posthumously in 1920).  Various other authors have continued the OZ stories since that time.  In our opinion, none have enjoyed the passion and gained the popularity of that enjoyed by his great-grandson, Roger S. Baum. Roger S. Baum has published more than ten OZ adventures and his books are enjoyed by millions!  He is considered one of the current top ten best-selling authors of children's books.  Some believe that J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series may have been influenced by these adventures in OZ.  Mr. Baum is constantly sought after for personal appearances and book-signings - and he honors as many of those requests as he can, while still producing more wonderful stories.

 


TOTO of OZ
and the
SURPRISE PARTY

by Roger S. Baum

 


Toto is on his very own adventure. The story needs to be told with pictures, because Toto, as you know, does not talk, except on rare occasions. I hope you enjoy his adventure.

Your friend,
Roger S. Baum

Dorothy was visiting the Emerald City with her dog, Toto. While there, she received an invitation from Glinda the Good Which; Glinda wanted Dorothy to attend a surprise party at her palace in the south of Oz.

Glinda really wanted Dorothy to be at the party, with the Lion, Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and others, to celebrate the amazing fact that Oz was well over 100 years old! The Wizard was going to be the guest of honor.

Time was short, so Glinda sent the speedy Sawhorse to Emerald City to give Dorothy a ride.

Unfortunately, Dorothy had to leave Toto behind. The Sawhorse had just enough room for Dorothy and the gifts she was taking. Dorothy decided that Toto would be safe inside the Emerald City. There would be friends and plenty of food and water for him while she visited Glinda.
