You've probably seen the movie, but do you really know the story of the Wizard of Oz? What about Alice in Wonderland or the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
This month's choices are all books from which movies were made. Let's learn the real story. How much did the movies leave out? Would the missing pieces have made a better movie or just a LONGER one?
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Follow the adventures of young Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, as their Kansas house is swept away by a cy
clone and they find themselves in a strange land called Oz. Here she meets the Munchkins and joins the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion on an unforgettable journey to the Emerald City, where lives the all-powerful Wizard of Oz.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
What happens when the five luckiest children in the entire world walk through the doors of Willy Wonka's famous, mysterious chocolate factory? What happens when, one by one, the children disobey Mr. Wonka's orders? In Dahl's most popular story, the nasty are punished and the good are deliciously, sumptuously rewarded.
Alice in Wonderland
The strange
adventures of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world full of peculiar, yet engaging, creatures. Many of these characters, including the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter and March Hare, are known to almost all of us. But, do you know the Jabberwocky?
