Overview

Gelett Burgess in his Goops and How to be Them, presents a series of very curious drawings and verses. These deal with the manners, or rather lack of manners, of various strange infants known as Goops, and are intended to impress the value of politeness on children. * * * * * From the INTRODUCTION: Let me introduce a Race Void of Beauty and of Grace, Extraordinary Creatures With a Paucity of Features. Though their Forms are fashioned ill, They have Manners stranger still; For in Rudeness they're Precocious, They're Atrocious, they're Ferocious Yet you'll learn, if you are Bright Politeness from the Impolite. When you've finished with the Book, At your Conduct take a Look; Ask yourself, upon the Spot, Are you Goopy or are you Not? For, although it's Fun to See them It is Terrible to Be them!
