Description

Dorothy, her brave companion Trot, the cheerful Wizard, and a colorful crew that includes the Cowardly Lion, the never‑sated Hungry Tiger and the sea‑savvy Cap’n Bill set out on a lively quest across Oz to find a truly magical birthday gift for Princess Ozma. Their journey takes them beyond familiar Munchkin streets to the mysterious summit of Mount Munch, where hidden villages of the Hyups live under steep cliffs and guard secrets that even Glinda has never heard of.

Along the way they encounter mischievous forest creatures, puzzling riddles and a whispered transformation word that promises to turn anyone into any beast, bird or fish with a single utterance. The adventure brims with humor, quirky characters and the timeless wonder of Oz, inviting listeners to share in a delightful search for wonder before the celebration even begins.
