4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good, April 24, 2000
By A Customer
I thought that this book was helpful to the research that I was doing. It had a lot of helpful hints on how to contruct hand puppets (although it did go into other types of puppetry) I also liked the fact that on Amazon is was so inexpensive. I would recomend this book to anyone who wanted to learn how to start their ouppet collection, or to any beggining puppeteers. this is a good book for younger children because it is easy to understand.

4.0 out of 5 stars homeschool drama, February 24, 2008
By Elaina Nicole (Germany) - See all my reviews
  
Straightforward enough. Paperbag puppets, shadow puppets, paper mache puppets...stage set up... how to perform a play. There are a few plays scripted, but also gives ideas on how to make up your own. Interesting book, not hard to follow, and all the ideas are doable for younger kids that have help or older kids working on their own. This is not a stand alone on the subject, but a good starting point.
