**Book 1 * Book 2 * Book 3 * Book 4 * Book 5 * Book 6 * Book 7**
Continuing with my read of the Oz series to the 4 year old, we read book 8, Tik-Tok of Oz. I had some problems with this book because it seems the author forgot some of his earlier stories since there are a lot of inconsistencies that happened in this one.
We got to see Shaggy Man and Polychrome again, both of which I quite enjoyed. Tik Tok obviously makes an appearance. We also see the Nomes again, specifically the king and his chamberlain. But we also meet a slew of new characters like the "army of Oogaboo" led by Queen Ann Soforth. We also meet the Rose Princess who is named Ozga, a cousin of Ozma the ruler of Oz. Betsy Bobbin and her mule Hank are the first new characters we meet though, and they come from America like Dorothy.
There is this huge adventure where Shaggy Man is trying to find his long lost brother. This long lost brother was taken by the king of the Nomes and held hostage. So Shaggy is on a mission to rescue him. And all the rest of the group helps him out, some for selfish reasons, some for selfless reasons.
It was a good book, and I'm happy to continue reading through the series with my daughter.
