"The Goops are a study
of people kind and good.

But though they can be charming,
each has a behavior that is alarming.

Each name reflects the trait
that seals each Goops fate."

Goops are wonderful turn-of-the-century characters and each has a story to tell. Each simple black-and-white character illustration corresponds with a clever rhyme that describes him/her.

These delightful little characters (and you know I have a thing for delightful little characters) were popular with children over a hundred years ago and have been revived today at GoopWorld!  As a Mom of twin toddlers, I find this duo partularly amusing:

If you’d like a chance to win a goody bag of items (journal, magnet, and a large mug - $30 value) featuring your choice of Goop, check out GoopWorld – read about the characters - and find which cute item you’d like to give or receive...  then leave a comment below with the link to your chosen item!  (U.S. shipping addresses only, please)  I’ll randomly choose a winner on Sunday 3/9 and contact them via email!

Updated 3/9:  Congratulations to Jen, the winner of the Goop GiveAway!
