The Goody-Naughty Book

"The Goody-Naughty Book" by Sarah Cory Rippey is an early 1900s storybook for children, divided into two parts: one showing kids being good, and the other showing them being naughty. It uses short, illustrated stories to teach kids about right and wrong through the experiences of characters like Honor Bright and Sammy Sleepyhead; in the "Goody Side", children are kind to animals, show forgiveness, and learn the importance of working hard, while the "Naughty Side" is filled with disobedient and mischievous children, like Willie and P'rapsy, who learn from their mistakes in funny and instructive ways. Each story emphasizes important life lessons, encouraging young readers to think about what happens when they make good or bad choices through engaging and playful storytelling.
