Synopsis

[This book is generously sized at 81/2 x 11.] Mr. Gelett Burgess in his ""Goops and How to be Them"" presents a series of very curious drawings and verses. These deal with the manners, or rather lack of manners, of various strange infants known as ""Goops,"" and are intended to impress the value of politeness on children. The verses are uniformly as clever as one might expect, remembering some of Mr. Burgess' work in ""The Lark"" in San Francisco. The following are a few of the lines: ""The Goops they lick their fingers, And the Goops they lick their knives; They spill their broth on the table-cloth, Oh, they lead disgusting lives!"" Children will probably welcome this book with open arms, and will treasure up the "Goops" with the "Golliwogs" in their hearts.
