More Goops and How Not to Be Them by Gelett Burgess
Summary: Deep in the heart of every parent is the wish, the desire, to have other adults tell us, in an unsolicited way, just how very polite one?s child is! This perhaps was even more the case in 1903, when Gelett Burgess produced his second book on the Goops. With entertaining cartoons ? cariacatures of misbehaving children ? he described many different breaches of tact and good manners.
Burgess wrote several books of poetry on the Goops, each poem describing some significant way in which an unthoughtful or unkind child could offend polite society and often offering the hope that the listener would never behave that way. Ahem! Well, perhaps very few people have succeeded in not acting Goop-like at some point in their lives, but read along with Burgess as he attempts to define, in a humorous fashion, exactly what the differences between ?Good? and ?Goop? are!

His Dog by Albert Payson Terhune
Summary: Albert Payson Terhune, perhaps best known for his book Lad, a Dog (later turned into a popular movie), was also a breeder of collies and a journalist. Some of his collie lines survive to this day.
His Dog is a story about Link Ferris who finds an injured dog on his way home one evening. Knowing nothing about dogs, Link nurses the dog back to health and the two form a bond such as only can be formed between human and canine. Unable to locate the collie?s owner, Link christens his dog ?Chum? who becomes invaluable in tending to the daily needs of his meager farm.
Unknown to Ferris however, Chum?s original owners have been looking for their lost collie, and the story finds Link torn between that which he knows is morally right and his love for what he believes has become his dog.
