Goops and How to Be Them
'Goops and How to Be Them' Summary
'Goops and How to Be Them' is a whimsical guide to good manners, using the antics of the Goops as cautionary tales. The book's charming illustrations and playful rhymes depict the Goops' misbehavior. From interrupting conversations to slurping soup, the Goops demonstrate every conceivable faux pas. Each act of rudeness is followed by a statement like, 'To be a Goop, you must be mean, and never let your manners glean!' However, the humor is not just in the Goops' atrocious behavior; the real wit lies in the contrasting moral lessons presented. The book's underlying message is clear: if you don't want to be a Goop, then learn from their mistakes and cultivate good manners. This book remains a beloved and enduring guide to social etiquette, offering a timeless and entertaining approach to learning how to be well-behaved and polite.Book Details
