Bartholomew And The Oobleck by Dr. Seuss

A Caldecott Honor Book

In a whimsical kingdom where the king grows tired of the usual weather, he demands his magicians create something new and exciting to fall from the sky. The result is a sticky, green substance called oobleck, which quickly turns into a chaotic mess, threatening to engulf the entire kingdom. Amidst the pandemonium, a young page named Bartholomew Cubbins takes it upon himself to save the day. With courage and quick thinking, he teaches the king a valuable lesson about the dangers of greed and the importance of appreciating what one already has.
