Dr. Seuss's Bartholomew and The Oobleck is a wonderful look at the perils of getting what you think you want, a great lesson for children to learn at an early age.
Bartholomew and the Oobleck
by Dr. Seuss  The King of Didd loved to look into the sky. But he was increasingly unhappy when he saw only rain, snow, fog, and sunshine. As a powerful king, he decided to change things so he could get more variety. Follow Bartholomew, the page boy, as he witnesses the bizarre events that unfold. |
