This book is full of the most amazing ideas about puppetry that I haven't seen before. Some of the puppets could be made with very little expense and with limited resources such as the Coaster Creature, whilst others like the Running Rabbi,t are quite elaborate. It's going to be a very handy book for me as I am planning an animation unit and a puppetry unit this year. The Bottle Bugs made from bottles and a glove are amazing and don't appear to be overly fussy. There's a really interesting chapter on how to convert an old bear into a puppet which I will definitely be looking into. Overall, this is a very creative book with designs requiring varying levels of skill.
This blog contains reviews and comments on children's books which I own, have read, and would like to share. I look for books at markets and opportunity shops. They are cleaned up, covered and read. Then I take them to the classroom for students to read. Students can borrow the books at any time. Many books are also from my personal library, especially the Youth Fiction. Students can preview some of them on this blog. Now, I am also on the lookout for great new releases for my grandson Archie.
