Off to See the Wizard.....

A friend of mine used Abby's Wizard of Oz unit this week in her classroom. I love how she let her kids choose the colors they wanted to use for their socks, slippers, and sneakers. I also love the book she brought in to use with the lesson.

She did not read this book in its entirety. It is not a storybook. She used some of the illustrations from the more familiar illustrators. Tomie dePaola's vision of the Wizard of Oz was perfect for bringing in "sparkly" sneakers for boys.

Here are a few pictures of the other pages in the book. See if you can guess the illustrator.
