We know you can’t wait to meet the next Goop, so say hello to Bragger! He’s a mischievous Goop who loves to help everyone have a good time, no matter what. The other Goops love this about him, but they don’t like it when he starts to brag about everything he does.      

On November 11th, Bragger and his friend Dilly Dally celebrate Origami Day by meeting in Dilly Dally’s sunroom to make paper origami animals. Dilly Dally’s origami elephant turns out better, but Bragger still brags about his, so the origami elephant grows, puts Bragger in its mouth, and sends him all the way to the Thorne miniature section of the Art Institute of Chicago, where every room is a teeny, dollhouse-size room modeled after full-sized rooms. In a drawing room, Bragger meets a portrait of Emily Thornton, who warns him that if museum security finds him, he may never be able to escape!

Emily tries to help Bragger by telling him which room to head to next, but he’s so busy bragging that he forgets where he’s supposed to go. Inside the French dining room, a security guard spots Bragger. He finally makes it to the English drawing room, but if he can’t stop bragging and listen, he’ll never get back to Goop World. 

Bragger’s journey through the Thorne miniatures will teach youngsters to embrace a bit of humility and recognize others’ accomplishments alongside their own. Bragger will need to stop hyping himself up if he wants to remember where to go. Will he learn his lesson in time? Join him in the Art Institute of Chicago to find out!

As they wander through miniature rooms, kids will expand their horizons through travel, develop an appreciation for stories and reading, and work on comprehending what they hear. They’ll want to come back to Goop World again and again after spending time with Bragger!
