Notes:
Disclaimer - My part A goes from the start of the sweet little book to the poppy field/mouse queen help.
Caption: "Poppies will stop them, and their little dog too."
Dorothy is younger in this story. She can't be more than 12 years old unlike the beautiful movie. She still meets the scarecrow, the tin man, and the lion, and they still want a brain, a heart, and some courage respectively. However, in the book, Baum explains why the scarecrow and the tin man are wanting a heart and a brain, and the tin man's story is so sad. I won't say it, however, because the book is an easy read if you ever cared to look at it (Link above in bibliography).
When they head into the poppy's, Dorothy and the Lion along with Toto fall asleep. Now, instead of Glenda the good witch helping, there is a monarch mouse that the tin man saved from a cat, and she has her subjects help them pull the Lion out of the poppies. It is a good read, and I enjoyed this half much.
