Books like Who Stole the Wizard of Oz?

This was a fun, fanciful book. This book could pick up a lot of student interest in other, more classical "children's literature" including The Wizard of Oz, Whinnie The Pooh, Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass, Treasure Island, and The Wind in the Willows. This book talks about looking deeper into what we read, and making connections, indeed an important theme of this book is that books can lead you to treasure... However, just as Becky and Toby find-- the treasure that books lead you to isn't always money. It's the ability to share the experience of joy in reading, as "'A good children's book is a book of promises.' And promises are to keep... and share" (116).This book talks about how the twin brother and sister duo, Becky and Toby have to dig deeper to find the clues that are strung together in 5 seemingly unconnected books. This reminds me of something that my 11th grade English teacher constantly told us:"Writers make choices, and readers make connections." That is essentially what the children in this short novel have to do as well. In order to solve the story of the missing books, and maybe even more importantly, a missing treasure, the main characters have to make connections of the books. Which was a daunting task.In the end, the treasure that was found wasn't for one person alone, but it was for the community to share... In the fact that it was a very expensive, old copy of Alice in Wonderland. The book has a good ending, and is a positive read. However it is a good book to show students that everything that is written in a good book, has meaning behind it. This is an important lesson to know.:)
