Goops and How to Be Them is a children's book written by Gelett Burgess, originally published in 1900. The book is a humorous guide to manners and etiquette for young children, using a cast of fictional characters called Goops to demonstrate both good and bad behavior. The Goops are depicted as clumsy, rude, and thoughtless, making them the perfect examples of what not to do in various social situations. The book is divided into short chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of manners, such as table manners, cleanliness, and kindness. Each chapter includes humorous illustrations and rhyming couplets to help children remember the lessons. Despite its age, Goops and How to Be Them remains a popular and entertaining guide to manners for young readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
