Marcus Pfister (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up

This faithfully reproduced hand puppet, with a mouth that opens and closes, features a full complement of shimmering scales on one side and -- in keeping with the theme of The Rainbow Fish -- a single shiny scale on the other, making it ideal for storytelling. The puppet can be used by children, parents, teachers, and librarians to dramatize readings of the three Rainbow Fish books, or to create new adventures.

Whether you are a fan of the Rainbow Fish stories, or whether you just appreciate the art (many people are ambivalent about the moral of the story, but find the picture quality of the books very high), this hand puppet will please you.

It looks and sparkles just like the Rainbow Fish in the books. As a hand puppet, it works very well as an adjunct to reading the story aloud. On display in a child's room (or elsewhere), it is really quite lovely.

No one's going to tell me that this is not an exceptionally good idea. I enjoyed making them with half of the kids in my family, and attacking the other half with my bepuppeted hand, just like the late (and apparently huge) Rod Hull did with Emu on Parky that time. Really funny. Though the wife sent me to bed without any supper.
