Goops and How to Be Them

A charming little handbook turns the everyday lessons of good manners into a lively game of “who’s a Goop?” and who isn’t. By pairing witty, rhyming verses with spirited drawings, the book shows children the humorous side of misbehaviour—like licking knives at the table or leaving muddy footprints—so they can see exactly what to avoid.

Each section tackles a different courtesy, from table etiquette and cleanliness to generosity, honesty and even how to treat pets. The verses are short and snappy, making it easy for young listeners to remember the rules while giggling at the Goops’ outlandish antics. The playful tone invites kids to compare their own habits with the Goops and ask themselves, “Am I a Goop or not?”

Perfect for a read‑aloud moment, this guide encourages self‑reflection without preaching. Its lighthearted approach helps children internalise simple virtues while enjoying the fun of spotting the Goops’ silly mistakes.
