This book is a great resource for anyone who works with young children and wants to introduce puppetry into the classroom.Super ideas! Pictures and graphics add a lot. I had the privilege of studying with Tamara Hunt and she is incredible.

A must have. Great resource of ideas. Easy to follow. A definite add on to a teachers resource of books.
