"More Goops and How Not to Be Them: A Manual of Manners for Impolite Infants" by Gelett Burgess is a whimsical children's etiquette book published in the early 20th century. This engaging work serves as a playful exploration of manners for young readers, using humorous illustrations and rhyming verse to convey lessons on proper behavior. The book addresses the various misbehaviors exhibited by children, affectionately referred to as "Goops," while promoting the importance of politeness and consideration for others. The content of the book is structured around a series of verses that highlight the antics of "Goops" and the lessons that can be drawn from their mischief. Each poem introduces a particular social faux pas, such as being messy, rude, or inconsiderate, and contrasts it with the expected proper conduct. For example, through stories of window-smooching, improper table manners, and excessive noise, Burgess demonstrates how small actions can have larger consequences. Overall, this manual humorously illustrates the journey from impolite behavior to social grace, making it an entertaining read for both children and their caregivers, while reinforcing the values of good etiquette.
