About this book
More Goops and How Not to Be Them is a manual of manners for impolite infants by Gelett Burgess. The book describes itself as depicting the characteristics of many naughty and thoughtless children, with instructive illustrations by Gelett Burgess. The contents list names, among others, Nell the Nibbler, Frankness and How to Eat Soup.
The introduction speaks to children, and its speaker admits to having often braved a mother's wrath, and misbehaved. A verse headed Visiting says it is not very pleasant to hear a Goop who goes out to visit ask his friends for things to eat. A verse headed Impossible tells of a Goop who was always wiping his nose on his sleeve.
