HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY TO THE WIZARD OF OZ!!!!!

Did you know that long  before the movie, The Wizard of Oz, there was a book written by L. Frank Baum? This year, the book turns 75 years old. Happy Birthday!!! If you haven't read the original version of this story, I highly recommend that  you catch up on this great classic. There are so many wonderful characters in this story.  If you have read it, which one is your favorite?  The cowardly lion is my mine.  He reminds me of myself.  Sometimes I don't realize the courage that I have hidden inside of  me.  Don't be "afraid" to share your your favorite character here.
