I found both the Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz colouring books from the Treasury of Illustrated Classics published by Modern Publishing.
I was pretty excited because we watch the Disney version of Alice, which is totally botched, and it's a nice way to introduce her to the real story.
As far as the Wizard of Oz goes, we like to watch the
Japanese television series from '86, which is pretty accurate for the most part. She recognized every scene in the colouring book, as a result.
The art is bubbly and cartoony, and nothing like the covers. It looks like the books are still available for super cheap from
Modern Publishing. I'll probably order some other stories. These are so much better than the average franchise promotion colouring book. They're still cheaply made, for sure, but we've gotten so much enjoyment out of them, and sometimes my daughter likes to just sit and read them.
