The Wonderful Wizard of Oz A1/A2

Resumen del libro

Published in 1900, the story takes us on the fantastic adventure of young Dorothy, a girl from Kansas who, together with her house and her little dog Toto, is transported by a tornado into the magical world of Oz.

When her house returns to the ground in this new land, Dorothy realizes that is has crushed the Wicked Witch of the East. She is promptly greeted by the Good Witch of the North who thanks her for ridding the land of the Wicked Witch and gives Dorothy a pair of magic silver shoes that belonged to the evil witch she has just killed.

Dorothy is desperate to return to Kansas, so the Good Witch of the North tells her to go seek advice from the Wizard of Oz by following the yellow brick road. Along the way Dorothy meets the most incredible characters: the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.

The volume has an extensive section of exercises that cover comprehension, grammar and vocabulary, communication skills and culture (CLIL). Included is an Audio-CD with the unabridged recording of the text.
