Editorial Reviews
Review
Does anyone doubt that Gelett Burgess, he of the equally ready pen and pencil, is an adept in philosophy? Read his famous essays and be convinced that he is a social philosopher of great analytic power. Peruse his dissertations on the nature and characteristics of "Goops" and know him as a moral philosopher of a most practical bent. --Good Housekeeping Magazine - Arthur Guiterman
For parents, children, or godchildren. Goops and How to Be Them: A Manual of Manners by Gelett Burgess, reintroduced by Barbara Ross. A witty and delightful volume first published in the '20s with eminently memorizable poems for the reinforcement of good behavior. "No matter how you wish/for the last one on the dish/Miss Manners has a right to it/Not you." And so forth. --The National Review
Precocious, atrocious, and ferocious? Yes, that s a Goop. Utterly without manners or noblesse oblige. Goops have one saving grace, they make wonderful examples of how not to behave. Goops and How to Be Them: A Manual of Manners for Polite Children offers a compendium of Goopish examples that cleverly illustrate proper manners from improper manners.
Goops and How to Be Them, originally published in 1900, retains its relevance today. Other than a few antiquated references like girls curtseying and watching for horses when you cross the street, the suggestions for proper behavior would be welcome in any home with children. The rhymes and illustrations combine to make learning about tidiness, consideration, generosity, teasing, and patience fun. Goops and How to Be Them is a spoonful of sugar that gets the medicine of good manners down in a most delightful way. --ChildrensPictureBooks.info

A matter of manners. Re-release of children's book shows polite behavior transcends time.
