The book is designed to instruct young readers on the importance of good behavior and politeness, highlighting the contrast between well-mannered children and the unruly, messy Goops. Through playful verses and charming illustrations, it addresses various themes related to etiquette, cleanliness, and virtue. The content of the book is structured around a series of whimsical poems that showcase the Goops' undesirable behaviors—such as being rude, messy, and inconsiderate—and juxtapose them with guidelines for proper conduct. Each rhyme focuses on different aspects of manners—like table etiquette, generosity, and the importance of tidiness—encouraging children to embrace good habits. The playful tone and engaging illustrations not only make the lessons enjoyable but also invite young readers to reflect on their behavior, ultimately aiming to instill a sense of kindness and respect in their interactions with others.
