    <body><![CDATA[I never read these books as a kid for some reason.  So far everything is largely the same as the movie -- except for the part where Dorothy goes BACK INTO her crashed-down in Munchkinland house TO CHANGE.  I kid you not.  I'm only about halfway through the first volume, and besides the Scarecrow being all existential and the Tin Woodman's long-ass, distressing and not-made-for-children's-reading history, the only thing that sort of varies from the movie is when the they meet a pack of &quot;kalidahs&quot; (sp?) -- which are animals with tiger heads and bear bodies.<br/><br/>WILL ADVISE.]]></body>
