Описание: The Goops, written by Gelett Burgess in 1903, is a collection of whimsical poems, teaching manners and polite behavior. This version of the Goops is rewritten to be relevant to today's kids and embellished with illustrations sure to catch the attention of anyone that thinks boogers can be amusing. Teaching good manners to their children is a primary obligation of parents, but how should they do it? Missy Castro's interpretation of "The Goops" is reminiscent of Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann's "Struwwelpeter" which has used funny illustrations to scare kids into good behavior since 1844. Missy's work incorporates more modern psychological methods to teach manners more through example and humor than shame and fear. It is bound to become a new classic - Joel S. Koenig, MD Life's lessons are often learned best through humor and non-examples. The Goops provides parents and educators alike a hilarious story and inviting illustrations to help guide children along the path of right thought and action. - Greg Hungerford, Ed. D. Social/Emotional/Behavioral-Effective Practice Specialist As a doctor who has the privilege of helping children every day, I get to see their up close curiosity of all things gross. Children will adore The Goops and its fantastically gross illustrations, while parents will love that their children will learn about manners and other lessons through such a satirical and fun book. Reading The Goops together, families are sure to laugh a lot. We could all use a little more laughter. -Scott Hardeman, MD. Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor In the tradition of Lemony Snicket or Roahl Dahl, we are introduced to Missy Castro's Goops They are gross enough to make me giggle and the sort of disgusting role models that I would prefer not to emulate. A fun and subversively instructive book for parents and kids alike. - Katy Miller, MSW, LCSW

Описание: This short story must have been the inspiration for the popular movie "Ghost Busters" (1984). The humorist-author here tells the tale of a scientist-philosopher who invents devices to capture ghosts and sets up a business of eradicating them from haunted houses. If you've seen the movie, you will recognize the resemblance in this excerpt: "My assistants with the extinguishers stood firm, and although almost unnerved by the sight, they summoned their courage, and directed simultaneous streams of formaldybrom into the struggling mass of fantoms. As soon as my mind returned, I busied myself with the huge tanks I had prepared for use as receivers. These were fitted with a mechanism similar to that employed in portable forges, by which the heavy vapor was sucked off. Luckily the night was calm, and I was enabled to fill a dozen cylinders with the precipitated ghosts. The segregation of individual forms was, of course, impossible, so that men and horses were mingled in a horrible mixture of fricasseed spirits. I intended subsequently to empty the soup into a large reservoir and allow the separate specters to reform according to the laws of spiritual cohesion."The ghost-capturing business was going well until one customer refused to pay after his ghosts were safely incarcerated in canisters. The ghost wrangler decided to get revenge, but unfortunately for him, things didn't go as he planned.The story was published in Cosmopolitan Magazine, April, 1905.

Описание: The Goops books, originally published between 1900 and 1950, were created by the artist, art critic, poet, author and humorist Gelett Burgess. The characters debuted, conceptually, in the illustrations of Burgess' publication The Lark, in the late 19th century. The Goops also appeared in panels in the popular monthly children's publication St. Nicholas, as early as 1898. The Goops series is among his most famous works.
