Description:
KIDS Radio presents a familiar story with a new twist. After being thrown into a new land by a tornado, Dotty and her dog Nono try their best to get back home and meet many new friends along the way, including Manny Kin (played by Tom Riley), Metal Guy (played by Bernard Walton), and Mystical Mountain Lion (played by Jack Allen). They follow the "Big Fat Road"; from Little Land to the Really, Really Green and Environmentally Correct City. There the Great Wishy Woz sends them on a quest to four items. They face dangers from the Wicked and Mean and Generally Not Very Nice Woman, rusty hinges, and even burnt fur! Will they make it back to the Wishy Woz and get their wishes granted?

Questions:
What was Manny Kin looking for on his quest? How about Metal Guy? And Mystic Mountain Lion? The Fairy Oddmother told Dotty that she should follow the Big Fat Road. Was that good advice? Why do you think that she didn't want Dotty talking to the fisherman? The advice that the Great Wishy Woz gave didn't seem to work very well. How would you advise Manny Kin, Metal Guy, and Mystic Mountain Lion to find what they were looking for? Who do you think Mr. Iam was?
