"Goops Tales is like a treasure chest full of amazing and delightful characters... a wonderful surprise!"

- Amanda Wilkins Book Reviews

Gelett Burgess wrote, “A Goop is a rude little creature devoid of beauty and
grace.” Throughout his numerous drawings and written material, his goal was
to teach children to recognize impolite behavior and stray from it as much as
possible. When it came to the Goops, his message was clear, “although it is fun
to see them, it is terrible to be them.”


Goop Tales, Alphabetically Told is Burgess’ third Goop book, first published in
1904. He took great care in naming each character, and dressing them in festive
costumes so as to match the manner they represented. Dedicating a boy and
girl character for every letter in the alphabet, Goop Tales goes to great lengths
in teaching both the alphabet, and the importance of learning manners and
polite behavior.



This volume, reintroduced by Barbara Ross, is lovingly dedicated to parents, educators and home schooling families that strongly believe polite behavior will change the world.
