Description
Mr. H. M. Woggle-Bug, T. E., takes a walk down an American main street in L. Frank Baum's Woggle-Bug Book of 1905. The initials mean Highly Magnified and Thoroughly Educated, titles earned in the Land of Oz. Separated from his Oz companions, the giant insect has four hands and time hanging heavy on all of them. He marches with an air of importance, proud of his learning.
Ike Morgan's pictures show the Bug's queer figure, which he himself never suspects. In America his Oz education proves less remarkable than he hopes. Baum builds the joke gently: vanity in a frock coat, six feet of it. The book is a short, sunny offshoot of the Oz tales, made for readers who wanted one more visit with its oddest scholar.
