An ooey-gooey, green oobleck was not exactly what the king had in mind when he ordered something extra-special from his royal magicians. In the book, the King of Didd announces that he is bored with sunshine, rain, fog, and snow, and tells his magicians to add some variety to the weather. As a result, large piles of sticky green oobleck fall throughout the kingdom, covering everything. The king soon regrets his wish, but since his magicians' cave has been buried in oobleck, he can do nothing to remove the substance.
Novel for kids. Ages 4-8 What happens after a bear breaks the fast of hibernation? In this rhyming follow-up to Bear Snores On (2002), Bear emerges as a lean, mean, eating machine. His animal friends help him find food, and he munches his way through the forest. As his grub crawl proceeds, both the words of the refrain ("But the bear wants more!") and Bear himself increase in size. Other friends busily plan a party for Bear back at his lair. Later all the friends must work together to pry the overfed, very stuck Bear from the entrance to his den. The story is fun and funny, but it takes a backseat to the illustrations.
To read and enjoy this book it will suffice to possess a modest knowledge of mathematics, i.e., knowledge of arithmetical rules and elementary geometry. Very few problems require the ability of forming and solving equations - and the simplest at that. The table of contents, as you may see, is quite diversified: the subjects range from a motley collection of conundrums and mathhematical stunts to useful practical problems on counting and measuring.
