Kabumpo in Oz

"Kabumpo in Oz" by Ruth Plumly Thompson is a delightful children's fantasy, continuing the adventures in L. Frank Baum's magical world of Oz. This story kicks off with Prince Pompadore's birthday bash in Pumperdink, which is interrupted by a mysterious cake explosion, throwing the party into disarray. After the explosion, they read a scroll that states the Prince must marry a Proper Fairy Princess to save the kingdom from disappearing. The elegant elephant, Kabumpo, alongside the Prince and other colorful characters, must find a solution to the kingdom-ending problem. Between magical spells, humorous situations, and a quest for survival, the tale sets the stage for a fun-filled quest in order to protect the kingdom from turmoil, all while Ruggedo, the evil Gnome King, is lurking in the background.
