This book is very timely... even though it's 100 years old!

Time moves on, we make technological advances and things change. However, people remain the same. No matter what happens, right is right and wrong is wrong.

What impressed me the most about this book is that it is fun to read. I don't want to bash Emily Post, Martha Stewart or any others lecturing on the dos and don'ts of life, but books on manners and etiquette can sometimes get pretty dry.

I have a feeling that children everywhere will love the whimsical drawings and happy little rhymes.

The subject matter may seem simple, but Goops and How To Be Them provides a wonderful opportunity for parents to speak with their children about the issues that face today's youth.

The editor of the latest release of Goops and How To Be Them has set up a website devoted to training kids and families about manners........................

Children love goops.

I grew up with Goop books, and I have fond memories. There are numerous poems on what good little children should do (manners) and what the round faced goops do to be naughty. A very fun children's book.

I love the Goops!

My mother read me this book when I was very young, and it stays with me still. A great way to teach kids manners!






A charming introduction to why manners matter

I was looking for a book about manners for my four year old. I came across this one, and decided to give it a try. It's charming, and he LOVES it!

The book is written in a rythmic poetry that really appeals to young children and the stories are funny -- and while they do convey bad manners, they simultaneously make it clear why the behaviors are unacceptable. (I was a little concerned about that, but I needn't have been.)

I recommend this one!

The Goops

What a great book! Thirty years ago (when I was five) I discovered this book. These are manners children used to be taught. Now parents expect teachers and others to raise their children for them. Etched in my mind forever is one of the phrases from this book. "The goops they lick their fingers, the goops they lick their knives, they spill their broth on the tablecloth , oh they lead disgusting lives. The goops they talk while eating,and loud and fast they chew, I'm glad I'm not a goop are you?" Buy this book!

Reintroduced by Barbara Ross

Good manners, consideration for others and thoughtfulness are habits. Goops And How To Be Them with the happy rhymes and delightful illustrations makes it easy and fun to learn these virtues.

The Goops they lick their fingers and the Goops they lick their knives They spill their broth on the tablecloth Oh, they lead disgusting lives!

Once placed in your memory, for the rest of your life, every time you lick chocolate from your finger this happy rhym will float through your brain and you will know ' YOU ARE BEING A GOOP1'
