Give the title, author, publisher, copyright date, genre (how do you know the genre - from the back of the book, the title page, the text?), a description of the cover of the book, and the main character(s) you have met so far and on what page you first met them.

             The title of my book is The Wizard Of Oz  by L. Frank Baum which was  published in 1903 by AERIE. When I look on the cover of my book I see a castle and a Scarecrow, Tin woodsman, a Lion and a girl dancing and having so much fun. I know they are having fun because they are smiling and you know if you are dancing you're happy. So far I liked the book and I learned that in my book animal talks and that tells me that the genre is Fantasy and  I had to ask the teacher what the genre so she gives me some background of the genre.   so far I met 3 characters;

                         -Dorothy is the main character of the book she is the narrator of the story and begins the book.
 -Uncle Henry who was a farmer.  page1.
-Aunt Em who was the farmer's wife. I found this information on page 1.
