( You should have never left Cheers when things were so good.) And then you see adults out there violating those rules every day, and making some pretty stupid decisions while they're at it. Just imagine for a moment that you're four years old, see morals in black and white, and are trying your best to learn the rules adults teach you. (Yeah, we went there.) Why Your Kids Should CareĮven though your child may need a lot of help learning right from wrong, they've got a pretty solid grip on what is fair, especially when it relates to them or the people they care about. Oh, and one last thing-we've just got to say it: after reading this book, your child will always know what to do when a situation gets too sticky. After all, your child has both a King and a Bartholomew inside of them, and it would be nice if one showed up more than the other.īottom line: Bartholomew and the Oobleck will make your whole parenting gig just a smidge easier. If your child has or is currently passing through the Berenstain Bears and the Gimme Gimmesage, when everything is about them and their concept of right and wrong is tenuous, this book can do wonders.
Sounds like something could benefit from. There are also lessons about appreciating what you've got and not getting too full of yourself. They come both in the form of our stubborn king, who teaches us why we should make like Nixon and say sorry, and in the form of brave Bartholomew, who makes a good case for how and why to listen to your heart and stand up to bullies. You will never again have to warn your child about the dangers of sleeping with gum in their mouth after you read them this book, nor will you have to watch that clip of Violet Beauregarde turning into a giant blueberry to hammer your point home.īut wait, there's more! That's right, life lessons abound. Specifically what happens when chewing gum-sorry, "oobleck"-falls from the sky. There's only one reason for you to read Bartholomew and the Oobleck to your child, and it's called chewing gum. Now get on with reading, you know you want to.
'Bout battle? No sir! 'Bout the fact it was raining.Īuthority, power, class structure, and more. Seuss got the idea from a soldier complaining Is sick of the wind, snow, sunshine, and rain,īut Bartholomew triumphs, as he tends to do.Īnd you're dying to hear where it came from, no doubt. King Derwin (we know, what a terrible name) Lead Bartholomew Cubbins to put up a fight. His ego, his pride, his stubborn "I'm right!"
Who wants what he wants and he wants it with bling.īut he's one awful boss as he readily shows us. He comes in the form of a greedy old king
Tells us the story of a pain in the neck. With Seussian words like our fave, shuffle-duffle. It's still super Seussy, no need to kerfluffle, Stay cool, crazy Shmoopers, and give it a go.
