Policeman Bluejay

Lyman Frank Baum and Maginel Wright Barney

Turned into larks with children's faces, Twinkle and Chubbins need a protector, and Policeman Bluejay takes the case. Baum's forest fantasy delivers an afternoon reception among the birds, the oriole's story, and the sinister Mrs. Hootaway. One of the Oz author's strangest, most enchanting inventions. Fly into the forest where the law wears feathers. Please note: this is the text of the story only. It has no pictures, so it is meant for a grown-up to read aloud rather than for a child to read alone. The illustrated experience of this story is the audiobook edition on Littletone.
