Dear Boys and Girls:

I often have wondered about the Strat, have not you? Bet a bushel ofpeanuts you have! Well, while we've been wondering the Wizard of Ozhas been inventing an Ozoplane to go Strato-sphering! Oh, there's somepretty high sky-riding in this adventure, I can tell you! And with Dot,Jellia Jam, the Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and Tin Woodman along, you canimagine the thrills and excitement. And the Soldier with Green Whiskershopes you'll give him credit for the part he played in the affair!

You know—it's grand to get together over a book once a year and have agood laugh, isn't it? I'd like to know what makes you laugh loudest andlongest.... I think I laughed most at the Cowardly Lion!

Yours for fun—now, and OZ always!
