Goops and How to be Them (Timeless Classics) Book

A personal childhood favorite, this old-fashioned combination of poems and line drawings is funny, timeless, and wise. A sample: "The Goops they talk while eating, and loud and fast they chew, and that is why I'm glad that I am not a Goop. Are you?" Other verses include "Borrowing" ("Didn't you say they were borrowed? You'd better take back just a few. If you lent your playthings, I think you would say things' If no one returned them to you"), "Patience," and "Honesty." Though nowadays these basic virtues are seldom spoken of by name outside of Sunday school, the Goops's humor and alien-like illustrations kill any inclination toward the saccharine. Instead, we find a cheerful, reasonable description of how to remain Goop-free, at least until adulthood.Read More
