Wonder mixed with practicality and joy is the tone used when reading "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) describes "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" as a fairy tale intended to delight, not frighten, children. The tone therefore is one of wonder at the excitement in Dorothy Gale's and Toto's life when they land in the magical lands of Oz. It is practicality in terms of the more challenging and less pleasant adventures. It is joy in the case of the friendships and the victories.

Specifically, the story is told from the viewpoint of the omniscient narrator who knows all. The narrator is careful of emotional extremes. The narration is aimed at covering facts, but with occasional slip-sliding into awe, despair and fear.
