where we put down our worries from the day and pick up a good book.

I'm Elizabeth, your host, and I'm so glad to have you here with me.

Tonight, we'll be starting our third book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by El Frank

Baum, originally published in 1900. The story follows the adventures of a young girl

named Dorothy who finds herself swept away to an enchanted world far, far from home.

You might be familiar with the 1939 film adaptation starring Judy Garland. It's a great favorite

of mine, so allow me to take you over the rainbow in this Sleepy Retelling.

Before we open our book to the first page, get cozy and bad and allow your imagination

to lead you into a new world. Before you know it, you'll be fast asleep.

If this is your first visit to the Sleepy Bookshelf, don't worry if you nod off before

I finish this part of the story. At the beginning of the next episode, I'll give a thorough recap.
