'More Goops and How Not to Be Them' Summary
'More Goops and How Not to Be Them' is a collection of humorous poems and illustrations that playfully address common childhood misbehaviors.

Through its whimsical tone and lighthearted approach, the book encourages children to become more mindful of their actions and strive to be 'good' rather than 'Goop'.Book Details
