Ozoplaning with the Wizard of Oz (1939) is the thirty-third book in the Oz series created by L. Frank Baum and his successors, and the nineteenth and last written by Ruth Plumly Thompson until 1972's Yankee in Oz. It was illustrated by John R. Neill. The book was followed by The Wonder City of Oz (1940).
The phrase "The Wizard of Oz" was included in the title to coincide with the MGM film The Wizard of Oz, which was released the same year the novel was published. As such, the focus of the story is on characters who appeared in the first novel.[1] Thompson focuses the book most strongly on Jellia Jamb, though that character was unnamed in the first novel.
