Summary from GoodReads:

Cap’n Bill and Trot journey to Oz and, with the help of the Scarecrow, overthrow the cruel King Krewl of Jinxland.

My Reviews:

I’m a bit confused about the name of this book.  While the story in The Scarecrow of Oz was interesting (and Jynxland, what a horrible place to visit!), there was actually very little of the Scarecrow contained within this book.  While he does come off as a bit of a hero, most of the book centers around Cap’n Bill and Trot.  With a dash of Button Bright and some new characters, the adventure was fun, filled with the puns and strange creatures I’ve come to expect.  The only thing I’m not enjoying as I make my way through these Oz books is the prolonged introduction to all of the creatures introduced in past books at the end of the story.  I understand that everyone wanted to see these characters, but I’m fairly certain they wanted more than a mere mention at the end of the book.  Rather than getting some detailed information on the characters (I was hoping for a bit of a story about the Scarecrow) I ended up with a story about two characters, albeit fun ones, with what appeared to be a cameo mention of the Scarecrow.  I’m hoping things get better from here, but at this point the stories are seeming a bit redundant.
