This is another adventure with Dorothy. She meets new characters the shaggy man, who has the most development in the story. Button Bright,who is the du mist character and 5 year old that I have ever known and poly the rainbow's daughter. I imagined her as a hippie because she loved to dance. I had a lot of problems with this book. First Button Bright was so annoying, every time he answered a question, he would have the same response "don't know." I felt like this book was repeating everything, like the first book. The characters also traveled to Oz to return home. There was a bad guy but, they only appeared in one chapter. They were canibals and was planning to eat them in soup. The bad guys attacked by throwing the own heads at the enemy, which is a disadvantage because then they wouldn't be able to see and I felt like they should have vomited over the characters. I liked the reunion with the old characters, but it was short lived was at the end of the book.
Quotes:
-"Roads," observed the shaggy man, "don't go anywhere. They stay in one place, so folks can walk on them."
-"But I've noticed if I happen to get lost, I'm almost sure to come to the Land of Oz in the end, somehow 'r other; so I may get there this time. But I can't promise, you know; all I can do is wait and see."
-"Stupid people must have streets and numbered houses in their cities, to guide them where to go, but clever donkeys know their way about without such absurd marks. Moreover, a mixed city is much prettier than one with straight streets."
-"All donkeys are born wise,so the only school we need is the school of experience. Books are only for those who know nothing and so are obliged to learn things from other people."
