Dorothy and Toto The Hunt for the Perfect Present

by Debbi Michiko Florence, Monika Roe (Illustrator)

Overview

Dorothy's in a pickle. It's her Munchkin friend Milton's birthday, and she has no present for him. He's such a new friend, she doesn't know what he likes. With the help of Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, young chapter book readers will have fun searching for the perfect gift! Curriculum-supportive back matter encourages discussion.
