** Please keep in mind that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz may be a bit scary/creepy for younger kids, as it has the flying monkeys and melting witches that you remember from the movie and more, since it is based on the full book. **
Today's Good Free App of the Day comes courtesy of Carisa of Digital Storytime, who rated the app 4.25 stars! From her review:
Dorothy and her dog Toto explore the magical land of Oz in this nice abridgement of the Frank Baum classic. This is the book version of Oz, not to be confused with the movie. The book is a classic, though, and has been beloved for over 100 years for a reason.
Each page begins in shades of grey, but after rubbing the screen with your finger, colors magically appear, transforming the picture into the next scene of the book.

Every day we pick what we affectionately call the Good Free App of the Day, an app that we have downloaded, tested and certified: It can't have a ton of ads or just a little content with a ton of in-app purchases.
It also has to be good.
