She had not only created and brought to life a pumpkin-headed man named Jack, a wooden Sawhorse, and a wobbly monstrosity with the head of a Gump, but had also gone forth with these unlikely companions and saved the Land of Oz from a terrible fate. "But she's a little girl!" said the bird. "She's a child! Children should be allowed to enjoy their childhoods.
