Perfect poems for not so perfect children

I remember the Goops from when I was a kid. My mom would read these to us, and now I am reading them to my children.

This book is very timely... even though it's 100 years old!

Time moves on, we make technological advances and things change. However, people remain the same. No matter what happens, right is right and wrong is wrong. What impressed me the most about this book is that it is fun to read. I don't want to bash Emily Post, Martha Stewart or any others lecturing on the dos and don'ts of life, but books on manners and etiquette can sometimes get pretty dry. I have a feeling that children everywhere will love the whimsical drawings and happy little rhymes.The subject matter may seem simple, but Goops and How To Be Them provides a wonderful opportunity for parents to speak with their children about the issues that face today's youth.The editor of the latest release of Goops and How To Be Them has set up a website devoted to training kids and families about manners........................

I love the Goops!

My mother read me this book when I was very young, and it stays with me still. A great way to teach kids manners!

Memorable!

It's been at least 20 years since I've read this book and I can still remember verses: 'Goops they lick their fingers, Goops they lick their knives...'. Maybe this book was responsible for my life-long interest (obsession) in manners. Glad I found it here.

a delightful way to teach manners to your children

In spite of the fact that many of the references in this book are obsolete--e.g., horses' hooves, coal, etc.--the drawings and the meter prove very engrossing to children. Not only do they love the ideas at the time, they will make the connection between observed poor manners and what they have heard in the Goops book long after you have closed the book. These books have been children's favorites for at least four generations
