Enjoyable book for kids

This was pretty average for the Oz Books, I'd say. I would have liked for the Gnomes to have a little bigger part in the story if the author had to include them at all. (The hint of the Gnome's discontent with their king was promising but went nowhere.) The thing with Ozma and the Sky Man didn't really seem to work, except to get her in trouble so she couldn't pull a deux ex machina for Tiger and Friends. The Crying Singer was annoying; I was happy when he dropped out of sight. I liked the idea of the Hungry Tiger being tempted to go outside Oz for "real tiger food." A real tiger wouldn't have been troubled with a conscience, of course; but that's Oz for you. I loved the Vegetable Man, too. The Big Wig chapter and the Down Town chapter were enjoyable.
