Halfway up the valley they saw a shaggy-looking creature sitting upon a rock. It seemed to have the form of a man, as Tot had first declared; but it was covered with long, thick hair, which made Dot decide it must be a bear.

This isn't bad. The story is a bit thin, but it has an inventive fairy land and I enjoyed the journey. With Baum it's usually more about the journey than the plot.
Delightful
A wonderful tale of Dot and Tot’s journey in Merryland. Another place with another ruler referenced in OZ. A fun light book.
