Review of 'Bartholomew and the oobleck' on 'Goodreads'

Pretty good story about a mad king abusing his power and trying to take on the weather. To the king rain, wind, snow and sun are all pretty boring so he gets his creepy magicians to conjure up something new. So they create Oobleck which creates all sorts of problems for the king, turns out there is no hope unless the king takes responsibilities for his actions.

Dr Seuss teaches us in this book that when it's raining green sticky stuff always blame the king.
