Dinner is ready. Will Bartholomew sit up at the table and eat it? "Nah," he says. But George has a plan to make him change his mind... Ideal for teaching children about mealtime manners, this lively board book about the adorable Bartholomew bear will be enjoyed by very young children.
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.
Each time Bartholomew Cubbins attempts to obey the King's order to take off his hat, he finds there is another one on his head. Set in feudal times, the story begins in the Kingdom of Didd, when King Derwin is riding through a street past Bartholomew Cubbins, a poor boy in the market. Bartholomew removes his hat, according to the laws, but another hat mysteriously appears; when he attempts to remove this one too, another one appears again, and this continues, even as he removes more and more hats, each growing in extravagance and beauty from the 451st hat onwards.
