Product Description

One day, Mr. H. M. Woggle-Bug, became separated from his comrades who had accompanied him from the Land of Oz. Finding that time hung heavy on his hands -- and he had four of them! -- he decided to walk down the Main Street of the City and try to discover something-or-other of interest.

So begins the adventures of the largest Woggle-Bug you have ever seen -- if you have ever seen even one -- in a thoroughly modern 1905 American city -- strutting down the street, his pink handkerchief in hand, his cane swirling . . . only to fall in love with the most stirringly enchanting beauty in a window!

The Woggle-Bugs befuddled heart will lead him into a twisting series of adventures, from a ride in a balloon to run-ins with weasels -- and kings!

Customer Review: Delightful, in spite of a few flaws.

Mr. H.M. Wogglebug T.E. (Highly Magnifed, Thoroughly Educated) is a wise and lovable insect with very polite manners (he is NOT one of those "know it all" snobs.) In this story he goes searching for a certain bright plaid dress which he has a tendency to fall in love anyone who wears. After he succedes he gets in a balloon and travels to an Arabian village and then to a jungle where all the animals behave just like humans. Yes, this book does have some outdated steriotypes but Mr. Wogglebug is too CUTE to ruin anything. In this story he meets a fourtune teller who says he has many heart throbs in his future but no more heart throbs after that. In his very next Oz book ("Ozma of Oz") he becomes the dean of the Royal College of Art and Athletic Perfection of Oz, and has been there ever since. The height of rudness is making someones life meaningless; and that is exactly what Baum did to poor Mr. Wogglebug. Sure, his college is famous for the Great Pills of Learning invented by the Wizard of Oz, but all of that is all worthless without the love of the children of the world. A child's love is a thing that ALL characters of imagination need like good air to breath. All that I can do for him is to give just as much love as I possibly can and try as hard as I can to make OTHERS love him.
