Reading the Oz Books Aloud to My Kid

Since July 2020, I have been reading the Oz books aloud to my kid, then almost three, and I have chronicled their reactions here. We started with L. Frank Baum, but have continued on to the later "Royal Historians" as well as the so-called "borderlands" books (Baum's books about countries near Oz) and "quasicanonical" books (contributions by the Royal Historians that aren't part of the forty from original publisher Reilly & Lee).
