About the book (from the dust jacket)
Oobleck is the new strange thing that came down. Rain…sunshine…fog…and snow …they had always come down from the sky.
But those four things weren’t enough for Old King Derwin. Old King Derwin wanted five! So…he called his Roval Magicians.
“I must,” he commanded, “have something extra special come down! I must have something come down from my sky that no other kingdom has ever had before!”
The new stuff was greenish! It sticky! It was oobleck!
Oobleck almost wrecked the little kingdom.
And it would have. if it hadn’t been for BARTHOLOMEW CUBBINS
The hero of the classic 500 Hats returns to save the Kingdom of Didd in this latest imaginative splurge.
