A hilarious retelling of the Wizard of Oz featuring the Mane 6 and other Equestria favorites complete with fourth wall breaks, colorful artwork, and references to both the original movie and the novel.
Follow the My Little Pony cast as they reenact the Wizard of Oz with their own Equestrian twist, fully aware of their participation in the story and not afraid to offer up their critiques to the narrator.
At first, I was a bit hesitant because the ponies’ stout faces and lack of chins in the artwork threw me, but once I realized it was written by Whitley I knew the characters were in good hands. He did not disappoint. This book was absolutely hilarious. I love the ways they spun the original story and the characters were cast so perfectly.
Humorous and fun. I love that some details of the book were included that weren’t featured in the original movie. A nice way to garner interest in the original series.
A very fun reimaging. Engaging and entertaining. Great for fans of My Little Pony and retellings in general.
