What is Don't Be A Goop! about?

Meet the Goops: cheeky children who forget their manners, make dreadful messes and cause trouble wherever they go. Through a lively collection of funny rhymes and playful illustrations, Gelett Burgess shows what happens when children interrupt, grab, shout, spoil games or behave selfishly. Each silly example offers a gentle lesson about kindness, thoughtfulness and good manners. Young readers can laugh at the Goops’ antics while spotting the everyday habits that help everyone get along.
