More Goops and How Not to Be Them
'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. Burgess uses the 'Goop' characters to illustrate a wide range of social faux pas, from interrupting conversations to being messy eaters. Each poem offers a gentle lesson in good manners, emphasizing the importance of kindness, respect, and consideration for others. 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
