He starts to reach out to touch one of the green specks, but pulls back because they seem frightening to him. He runs and wakes up the king who is very excited and yells: Bartholomew, having stayed up all night, is standing at the window at dawn and sees little green specks coming from the sky. That night the magicians perform a very grand spell to make oobleck. Won’t look like snow.īartholomew tries to warn the King that the magicians are going to do something crazy and that he should call them back, but the king is too excited about being the mightiest man in the world because tomorrow he’ll have OOBLECK! When the King asks what it will look like they reply: The royal magicians arrive chanting a rhyme that ends with “ Our magic can do anything.” The king makes a wish to have something new fall form the sky and when he asks the magicians what they will make they speak one word together. King Derwin insists that he can! So, he commands Bartholomew to call for the royal magicians. “Boy, don’t you dare tell me what I can or cannot have! Remember, Bartholomew, I am the King!” He wants something new! Bartholomew tries to tell the king that that’s impossible, to which the king replies: King Derwin is tired of having the same four things come from the sky all the time the snow, the fog, the rain and the sunshine. Now Bartholomew is a page for the same grumpy and selfish King Derwin in the Kingdom of Didd. Just as Seuss brought back Marco in McElligot’s Pool he brings back Bartholomew for Bartholomew and the Oobleck. “He is his work, all the whimsy and zaniness of it is part of him, and his constant patter of wisecracks.” Production Manager, Ray Freiman’s thoughts on Seuss at the time of this book:
