Toto the Ninja Cat and the Great Snake Escape: Book 1

Product Information

The book is a reimagining of the classic tale, The Frog Prince, a German story from Grimm’s Fairytales. How does yours differ from the original? Toto has been widely recognized as one of the most famous of all dogs in movies and television. For example Time magazine in 2015 includes Toto in "The Most Famous Dogs in Movies and Television". [7] Also in England, Neil Oliver. writes in The Sunday Times that 2020 has been. ”A tornado of anxieties....Like Toto, the little dog in The Wizard of Oz, we find ourselves far from home. I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more. Also like Toto, no one understands our small voices. In this incomprehensible new place, we are to be silent while others speak." The last point emphasizes how important it is to be a quiet observer. [8] Falls ihr die Originalfassung nicht kennen solltet, ist das überhaupt kein Problem, um Totos Geschichte verstehen zu können. Michael Morpurgo erzählt die Geschichte zwar originaltreu, nur eben auf eine andere Weise. Wenn man, wie ich, die Orignalgeschichte gelesen (oder als Verfilmung gesehen) hat, wird man Michael Morpurgos Adaption natürlich ganz anders lesen als diejenigen, die sie nicht kennen. Man zieht natürlich Vergleiche. Ich weiß nun tatsächlich gar nicht, was ich persönlich besser finde und daher eher empfehlen kann: Totos Geschichte zu lesen, ohne Vorwissen oder sie zu lesen, mit der Handlung im Kopf. Ich denke, dass beide Varianten ihren Charme haben. Was ich euch aber definitiv nur ans Herz legen kann: Lernt diese einzigartige Geschichte kennen! „Der Zauberer von Oz“ erzählt so ein wunderschönes Märchenabenteuer voller Magie und Fantasie!

Toto is a perfect novel to read to young children or for early readers to access themselves. The illustrations will fire up the imagination.

First of all the book starts off basically as a cute retelling where Toto has become a dad thus is trying to put the rascally pups asleep since he is watching them. This is one of those points that parents and non-parents would understand what is going on although it also gives me a bit of red light as to why he doesn't want to have fun with the pups or take them out exploring but instead automatically tries to dodge responsibilities by putting them to sleep.

A lot of credit also goes to the excellent illustrator Emma Chinchester Clark. Her beautiful illustrations bring the book to life. It’s a book that is a real joy to hold in your hands and pore over. The lively illustrations combined with the intimate narration make this book especially suited to shared reading aloud.I was there,” Papa Toto said, and those magic words sent shivers down my spine. It was going to be the Wizard story. “Dorothy and me were both there.” Toto is a fictional dog in L. Frank Baum's Oz series of children's books, and works derived from them. His name is pronounced with a long "O", a homophone of "toe toe". He was originally a small terrier drawn by W. W. Denslow for the first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900). He reappears in numerous adaptations, such as The Wizard of Oz (1939) and The Wiz (1978). Otherwise addition of the brightly colored illustrations allows young readers to get into the book although again without the purist form of the book. The Kansas homestead is shown in color, which is a first for many tellings from Oz. There were one or two illustration details that were off to me such as the Witch of the North being dressed as a Munchkin. Otherwise the illustrator seems to have a bit of Baum since the illustrations weren't consistent such as the Munchkins seemed to be presented as people with real skin complexions while those who live in the Emerald City and the Winkies tend to have the skin tones consisting of the location where they come from (respectively green and yellow). This follows the story exactly - form tornado in a grey land to the house landing on a witch, and journey to wizard down a yellow road to the wizard who can send the little girl (and of course, her dog) home, meeting friends along the way who have failings they want the wizard to correct.

TOTO Publishing aims to continue to contribute to the development of architecture, design、 and life and culture through making books that will enrich the lives of all readers. The kiss with the frog isn’t in the original — the princess throws the frog against a wall! In other more modern tellings, the transformation is with the famous kiss — perhaps inspired by Sleeping Beauty or similar fairytale tropes. So we took the idea of the kiss, and made the story about the frog. In our tale, there are three princesses, none of them very forthcoming. But kindness wins the day in the guise of a handsome prince — who offers the famous (consensual) kiss. After the last book that I read that was suppose be told from Toto's viewpoint I was hoping with all that I had that this wouldn't be a repeat. Instead it is better and much more enjoyable although at the same time one of those that had me scratching my head since it didn't just combine book and film elements but completely changed the ending, which since of that edit I ended up having to give this book a lesser star rating even though I did really enjoy it otherwise. From master storyteller MICHAEL MORPURGO, and illustrated by the award-winning EMMA CHICHESTER CLARK, comes a surprising, charming and uplifting twist on The Wizard of Oz, told by a very special and unforgettable character: Dorothy’s pet dog, Toto. A perfect, collectible gift for all children (and children at heart).

Neben der Gestaltung bin ich auch von der Erzählweise des Buches komplett verzaubert. Meiner Ansicht nach ist es Michael Morpurgo hervorragend gelungen die Geschichte von „Der Zauberer von Oz“ aus der Sicht des Hundes Toto in der Ich-Perspektive zu schreiben. Papa Toto erzählt hier seinen sieben Welpen von seinem großen Abenteuer. Eine total niedliche Idee, oder? :) It's a nice addition to the collection they are amassing together of famous fairy tales retold. I hope this encourages children (and parents/teachers) to also read L. Frank Baum's original series, which is just as readable. Dorothy finds herself far from home. She learns a valuable lesson that home is best. No matter how kind our friends are, we cannot beat that feeling that home gives.

When Terry died in 1945, Carl Spitz buried her on his ranch in Studio City, California. However, the construction of the Ventura Freeway in 1958 destroyed her grave. On June 18, 2011, a permanent memorial for her was dedicated at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles.
