## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Classic "Must Have" for Beginners
*by M***N on November 19, 2022*

This is a must-have for beginning puppeteers, teachers, and colleges. The authors cover every aspect of using puppets including stage, lighting, storage of puppets and props etc. They emphasize practicing before others and giving and receiving constructive criticism. The book includes little skits and lessons which are great for individuals or student practice.I love the retro puppets and minimalism in this original book published in the 1970's. The purpose of the book is NOT puppet construction, but instead, about making them COME ALIVE through subtle hand movements and voice. This book specifically teaches manipulation of simple hand puppets, but it does cover mouth (or sock) puppets. The authors' preference is hand puppets which are effective in using with props. Though the book is not about puppet construction, I'm inspired by the cute, simple, "old fashioned" hand puppets used for demonstration.I especially like that the book emphasizes puppetry minimalism - the simplicity of puppet design, black curtain stage without the use of elaborate scene changes, etc. The authors emphasize primarily movement, use of props, and voice to convey the drama of the puppet show.The book is filled with large photos showing how to move puppets. The authors made a good choice by using black and white photography, because it is the most effective way to convey movement through still photos - better than color, which would have been less effective and also distracting.I highly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good info
*by G***S on November 18, 2012*

Lots of info..still reading and studying. Working on a lot of puppet characters and ideas. Nothing more to say right now. Thank You

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST!
*by J***D on October 5, 2024*

I have a dozen puppet books. This one, though older is hands down the absolute best one in teaching and describing how to use puppets.
