Not the worst of the Oz books, because the individual scenes are entertaining, but certainly one of the weakest. Even the title is meaningless. There is hardly a plot and what there is has been done before and contains several continuity errors. It is Ozma's birthday (again). Dorothy tries to come up with a decent present (as usual she is inseparable from the Wizard). Meanwhile Trot, Cap'n Bill and the Glass Cat get into a bit of peril. Meanwhile meanwhile the ex-Nome King is up to no good (again) but his lacklustre plan peters out so easily everyone seems to forget about it. At the end we get the usual roll-call of favourite characters invited to the party but Baum forgets about the Woozy so now I am imagining the poor beast sitting all alone in the stables wondering where everyone is. There is now only one book left in the original Baum canon. I hope he puts more effort into it than this one.
