Review Bartholomew and the Oobleck easily qualifies as a Seuss classic, first told way back in 1949. And its message--the importance of owning up to your mistakes and saying that youre sorry--is as timeless now as it was then. Bartholomew Cubbins serves thanklessly as pageboy to King Derwin of Didd, a headstrong man whos decided he isnt satisfied with mere sun, fog, rain, and snow. (Humph! The things that come down from my sky!) He wants something else, something uniquely his own, so he calls in his royal magicians (Shuffle, duffle, muzzle, muff. Fista, wista, mista-cuff. We are men of groans and howls, mystic men who eat boiled owls). Happy to oblige, the magicians tell the king they can make oobleck fall from the sky, only nobody--not even the magicians--knows just what oobleck is. But after a night of arcane incantations, everyone in the kingdom gets a taste of the stuff (in the case of the Captain of the Guard, literally!), as the green, gluey goo gums up everything in sight. Of course, Bartholomew tries to help, but its up to the king to save the day, as he learns to utter not magic words but simple words with magic in them: Im sorry. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes 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.
