| | Amazon.ca: The Tin Woodman of Oz: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | The Tin Woodman, accompanied by Woot the Wanderer, Scarecrow, and Polychrome—the Rainbow’s Daughter, sets out to discover what became of the pretty Munchkin girl he was to marry before the Wicked Witch of the East enchanted his ax and he traded the flesh and bone body of Nick the Chopper for one of tin. |
 | | The recounting of the Tin Woodman's slow transformation from a healthy Munchkin male into a man of tin underscores the multiple amputations that necessitated the slow replacement of his human limbs with those of metal, allowing Baum free reign to discourse on the nature of identity, though the theme of violence goes undressed. |
 | | The Tin Woodman Of Oz, full of eccentric undertones and undertows, tugs at its readers with its strange siren call and is certain to leave children and adult readers perplexed, questioning, somewhat wiser, and anxiously reaching for the next volume. |
