Little Ojo and his Unc Nunkie are beset by a terrible problem: the bread on the bread tree isn't ripe, and the butter and jam is all gone . . . And out of so small a difficulty, in the magical Land of Oz, arises one of the most miraculous of tales of Oz, in which the reader meets such wondrous characters as the talkative Glass Cat, the Wise Donkey, the savage Woozy -- and of course the lovable Patchwork Girl herself.
