Notes: Internal dates of the first
two books seem to indicate 1927, but factors in the third book strongly suggest
a more modern setting is appropriate, perhaps 1991 (the year before the
copyright date on the third volume). |

Notes: This
picture book is an adaptation of The Silly Ozbuls of Oz and the Magic Merry Go
Round (see above) with new artwork, slightly different prose and no SillyOzbuls. Dating appears to be modern, possibly 1991. |

Funhouse of Oz and
Vampires and Oz. |

Kids of Oz were composed of students in Fourth and Fifth grade classes from
several years in a row that were taught by Serafin Padilla, and aided by Chris
Dulabone, who helped each succeeding class to compose and publish their own
book. For an angry response to Padilla, see "Ozma
Gets Really Pissed Off and Cussess..." |
The
Haunted Hot Tub of Oz

Kidnapped in Oz
Barney Backhoe in Oz

Notes:
Author Ruth Waara's grandchildren have adventures which eventually land them in Oz. In Kidnapped, the evil circus impresario, Whiplash, has been kidnapping
pets as well as Ozian animals for his circus. With the help of a
computerized, talking backhoe, the kids go to the rescue. In Barney
Backhoe, Whiplash is back for revenge. In Oz, meanwhile, Professor Wogglebug has been left in charge
where he decides to enforce Ozma's law against
magic users, with disastrous results. Although cute, Waara's writing
style here is clearly targeted to a younger audience than her prior two
manuscripts (Umbrella
Island in Oz,
Magic Cryptogram of Oz) and the existence of a living backhoe in
the United States tends to stretch credulity. |
Colorful Corniness in Oz

Notes:
Tails
of the Cowardly Lion & Friends' first full-color work, this 43 page
booklet deals with a bumbling family of painters who have "a series of
silly adventures in Oz, including meetings with the Scarecrow, the
Patchwork Girl, and other citizens of L. Frank Baum's beloved fairyland." |
The Wogglebug's Book of Manners

The Wogglebug's Fun with Seasons and Holidays in Oz

Baby Z and the Rabbit
of Oz

Notes:
It's
uncertain if this short 21 page story has anything to do with Oz, other
than the possibility that the giant talking rabbit called Oz, who shows
the titular baby around his property, might be from Oz (Bunnyberry,
perhaps?) but this is never said in the story or even implied. |
The Dragon of Oz series

Notes:
This series, written by a young child, is a reimagining of Oz, with
Dorothy running away from her aunt and uncle because they want to kill
Toto. The "Guide to Oz" is a Q&A written by himself as to why he wrote
these. |
