Join Bartholomew Cubbins in Dr. Seuss’s Caldecott Honor–winning picture book about a king’s magical mishap! Bored with rain, sunshine, fog, and snow, King Derwin of Didd summons his royal magicians to create something new and exciting to fall from the sky. What he gets is a storm of sticky green goo called Oobleck—which soon wreaks havock all over his kingdom! But with the assistance of the wise page boy Bartholomew, the king (along with young readers) learns that the simplest words can sometimes solve the stickiest problems. Review: Wonderful story and very rhyming.. - Dr. Seuss books are always fun to read, when your kid is just learning to spell. This story has a moral as well! my kid just loves it! Review: Bartholomew and the Oobleck - This is a great story with a couple of good lessons. We see 'magicians' who admit they don't know exactly the consequences of what they do, a vain ruler who thinks he order change for his own pleasure but not realizing the consequences, and the presence of a sensible youth who works to save his fellows and with the king to change his precipitous order. The magic words are kindness. I don't know if the author was thinking of pollution when he wrote it, around 1904 I think, but some results of industrialization were already affecting people adversely. So I give this 5 stars. I like the illustrations, nothing scary, very whimsical and humorous. I was not scared when I was 6 and my dad read it to me. Children like ooey gooey stuff, like that horrible green silly putty. As an adult, it's still fun to read, and kind of timely.

... and water (and a little food colouring for extra fun! ) - children absolutely loved it
Read to my class before making our own oobleck using cornflour and water (and a little food colouring for extra fun!) - children absolutely loved it!

an old favourite
I purchased this for my grandchildren, as it was a favourite when I was their age. It is an unusual morale tale told in Dr. Seuss's inimitable style.
