Synopsis

Level: A1 — Spanish for Beginners

Real literature — reachable from day one.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, retold in simple, beginner-level Spanish, is the perfect way to start reading Spanish for beginners without getting lost in a dictionary.

This graded reader keeps L. Frank Baum's beloved story — Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and the Wizard of Oz himself — while simplifying vocabulary and grammar to a genuine A1 level. Every sentence is written for someone just starting out: present-tense narration, everyday vocabulary, and short, clear sentences throughout.

What's inside:

• All 15 chapters of Dorothy's journey through Oz, told in accessible A1 Spanish
• A 10-word vocabulary list after every chapter, with English translations and example sentences in Spanish
• 5 comprehension questions per chapter to check your understanding
• A full answer key
• Word-for-word English glosses, so you're never stuck reaching for a dictionary

Who it's for:
Perfect for adult beginners tackling Spanish for the first time — whether you're brushing up before a trip, starting a new hobby, or just want to read something in Spanish that isn't a children's board book. No prior Spanish knowledge assumed.

A note on this edition:
This is a simplified adaptation, not the unabridged original novel. Sentence structure, vocabulary, and grammar have all been intentionally leveled to A1, so some of Baum's original descriptive language has been trimmed. If you want the full unabridged classic, this isn't it — but if you want Spanish for beginners that still tells a real, beloved story, this is exactly that.

Part of the Classics for Spanish Learners series from Bilingual Learning Press. Also available in French and German, and paired with the original English edition for side-by-side reading.
