4.0 out of 5 stars A cute little book..., June 17, 2002
By 
Robert Wellen (CHICAGO, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jim Henson: Young Puppeteer (Childhood of Famous Americans) (Paperback)
A great little book for kids about one of my heroes, Jim Henson. I, an adult, read it because it is one of the few Jim Henson biographies available...where is a full scale adult biography of one of the most important entertainers of our time? This is a sweet little book that the kids will enjoy. And maybe a few adults too...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful introduction for kids to the world of Jim Henson, April 17, 2000
This review is from: Jim Henson: Young Puppeteer (Childhood of Famous Americans) (Paperback)
A great way for kids to experience the magic that is Henson. Jim Henson has had many books written about him, but this one is the best way to introduce kids to the man behind the Muppets.
