Goops And How To Be Them

Goops and How to Be Them

by Frank Gelett Burgess

This book, written in verse, humorously depicts the misadventures of the Goops, a race of incredibly rude and impolite creatures. The Goops are used as examples to show children how not to behave, and their antics serve as a satirical commentary on bad manners and social faux pas. The book uses playful language and engaging illustrations to deliver its message of proper etiquette and social graces.
