You may be asking, "What are the Goops?"

"Goops" are a series of books written about manners and etiquette more
than 100 years ago by Gelett Burgess. The cheerful illustrations
and
happy rhymes which conveyed good manners in years past, still
apply
today, and are timeless in the lessons that they teach.
Unlike more formal books about manners and polite behavior, the
books presented by Goops Unlimited regard these rules as a part
of everyone's lives. Polite behavior for both Gelett Burgess and Barbara
Ross is about consideration for others, and about helping children receive
all of the love around them.
Do you remember...
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!
Whimsical illustrations and happy rhyme like this encourage
children to enjoy the process of learning manners and proper behavior!
