Great program!

I had no idea this audiobook would be so good when I picked it to listen.

Not the movie

Loved hearing the story as written. Added so much to what I’d always known from the movie

Some what funny

Not like the Hollywood version. Some of it was a quirky I don’t think I listen to this story again but it was a good time spender

Delightful

This was a delightful telling of the story. So many people we meet on the streets.

Great production of the beloved classic!

Great performance of Dorothy and her adventures in Oz. Kept my attention throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed. This one will get listened to again and again!
