Book Description
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.

Book Description
[This book is generously sized at 81/2 x 11.] Mr. Gelett Burgess in his ""Goops and How to be Them"" presents a series of very curious drawings and verses. These deal with the manners, or rather lack of manners, of various strange infants known as ""Goops,"" and are intended to impress the value of politeness on children. The verses are uniformly as clever as one might expect, remembering some of Mr. Burgess' work in ""The Lark"" in San Francisco. The following are a few of the lines: ""The Goops they lick their fingers, And the Goops they lick their knives; They spill their broth on the table-cloth, Oh, they lead disgusting lives!"" Children will probably welcome this book with open arms, and will treasure up the "Goops" with the "Golliwogs" in their hearts.

Book Description
Theodor Seuss Geisel, creator of Horton the Elephant, the Grinch, the Cat in the Hat, and a madcap menagerie of the best-loved children’s characters of all time, stands alone as the preeminent figure of children’s literature. But Geisel was a private man who was happier at the drawing table than he was across from any reporter or would-be biographer. Under the thoughtful scrutiny of Charles D. Cohen, Geisel’s lesser known works yield valuable insights into the imaginative and creative processes of one of the 20th century’s most original thinkers.
