Bring the magic of Oz to your littlest readers with this interactive, hands-on board book that makes a beloved classic come alive!

Adapted by Brooke Jorden and beautifully illustrated by Olga Skomorokhova, Lit for Little Hands: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is an activity board book that introduces young children to L. Frank Baum's timeless story of brains, heart, and courage — and the enduring message that there's no place like home. Packed with wheels, pull tabs, and other interactive elements, this book invites little hands to spin with Dorothy and Toto in the twister, swing an axe with the Tin Woodman, and melt the Wicked Witch of the West. Far more than a simple primer, it tells the actual story in simple, engaging prose, making it a wonderful gift for fans of the classic novel and newcomers alike.

Truly Interactive: Wheels, pull tabs, and other hands-on elements keep toddlers and young children engaged as they play their way through the story of Oz.
Faithful to the Classic: Fans of the original novel will love the attention to detail, clever use of original dialogue, and vibrant illustrations by Olga Skomorokhova.
Big Themes, Little Hands: The story gently introduces children to meaningful values — courage, kindness, and the importance of home — in language they can understand and enjoy.
Built to Last: Super-sturdy board construction means this book can be read again and again — and again — without wearing out, making it a perfect addition to any child's bookshelf.
