This review is from: Shadow Puppets & Shadow Play (Hardcover)
This is the Shadow puppeteer's bible. The book explains everything you need to know about shadow puppetry. It's got easy to understand text, step by step illustrations not only to make the puppets, but the stage as well. This book is great for school projects, girl scout and boy soout projects and any one who wishes to give shadow puppetry a whirl
