The Tin Woodman is a character created by L. Frank Baum as part of the fictional Land of Oz. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy befriends the tin man and together they experience adventures. The character shows up in other Baum books as well as the novel by Gregory Maguire titled Wicked.
Read the recently published graphic novel, then extend the experience with two digital books:
TIN MAN by Justin Madson is a graphic novel featuring the Tin Man made famous in the Oz books by L. Frank Baum. In this story, the tin woodsman is still seeking a heart, but teen Solar and her brother Fenn are the ones who befriend this man made of metal. They help each other heal and find out where they belong. The limited text, attractive illustrations, and compelling story will engage even reluctant readers in this unusual friendship.

Teachers and librarians may use this title to encourage children to revisit the classic works of L. Frank Baum or the newer novels of Gregory Maguire.
