Features: "The Grub" is a premium offering jointly brought to by the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press and Oxford University Press. In English, "The Grub" is a rather adorable image. Imagine a "grub" so immersed in books, utterly captivated by the pages, tirelessly chewing on the letters. Now, this "grub" has crossed the seas and landed gracefully in the hands of Chinese English learners. "The Grub" will first give you a letter, even if you currently have only a few hundred words, you can easily read world-class works. The grub will also remind you with its delicate chirping: to persevere in reading, to read widely and richly. By the time you finish the last book in the series, you might suddenly realize: you have transformed like a caterpillar into a butterfly, ready to take flight!
In Kansas, USA, there are no witches or wizards, but there are tornadoes. One day, a tornado swept Dorothy and her dog Toto, along with her house, to a land called Oz.

The Witch of the North told her, "Go to Emerald City and ask the Wizard of Oz for help." Afterwards, Dorothy met the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Cowardly Lion, and they all needed help too. So, Dorothy set off with them on the Yellow Brick Road to Emerald City. But what were they looking for there? Who was this renowned Wizard of Oz? What kind of person was he?
