Goop Tales: Alphabetically Told is Gelett Burgess' third Goop book, first published in 1904. He took great care in naming each character, and dressing them in festive costumes so as to match the manner they represented. Dedicating a boy and girl character for every letter in the alphabet, Goop Tales goes great lengths in teaching both the alphabet and the importance of learning manners and polite behavior.

Goops

The Goops go to the circus in this delightful addition to the Goops library. At face value, these silly rhymes and funny illustrations make us laugh but the lessons are deeper. Using the platform these whimsical characters provide, The Goops Circus enables conversations about manners in the classroom and at the family table. Publishers Ross and Beatty believe that proper manners and polite behavior bring self confidence; and by teaching unity instead of division, help children and adults find peace in the world around them.

The busy summer tourist season is winding down in Busman's Harbor, Maine, but Julia Snowden senses trouble simmering for the Snowden Family Clambake Company. Shifty David Thwing—the "Mussel King" of upscale seafood restaurants—is sniffing around town for a new location. But serving iffy clams turns out to be the least of his troubles.…When Thwing is found sleeping with the fishes beneath a local lobsterman's boat, the police quickly finger Julia's brother-in-law, Sonny, as the one who cooked up the crime. Sure, everyone knows Sonny despised the Mussel King…but Julia believes he's innocent. Proving it won't be easy, though. It seems there's a lot more than murder on the menu, and Julia needs to act fast.…Includes traditional Maine clambake recipes!

Product Description 
Tricks and treats keep the Halloween spirit alive in coastal Maine. But this year the haunted house theme is getting carried a little too far . . . HAUNTED HOUSE MURDER by LESLIE MEIER Newcomers to Tinker's Cove, Ty and Heather Moon have moved into a dilapidated house reputed to be a haven for ghosts. Now strange noises and flickering lights erupt from the house at all hours and neighborly relations are on edge. And when a local boy goes missing near the house, it's up to Lucy Stone to unravel the mystery of the eccentric couple and their increasingly frightful behavior. DEATH BY HAUNTED HOUSE by LEE HOLLIS For the past two years, the house next door to Hayley Powell has sat abandoned after the owner died under mysterious circumstances. The Salinger family has recently taken possession of the property, but the realtor behind the deal has vanished-after a very public and angry argument with Damien Salinger. If Bar Harbor's newest neighbors are murderers, Hayley will haunt them until they confess. HALLOWED OUT by BARBARA ROSS With its history of hauntings and ghost sightings, Busman's Harbor is the perfect setting for Halloween festivities. But when a reenactment of a Prohibition-era gangster's murder ends with a literal bang and a dead actor from New Jersey, Julia Snowden must identify a killer before she ends up sleeping with the fishes. There's nothing like home sweet home in this trio of Halloween tales . . .
