I am not familiar with the author or his work but I was highly disappointed by other books and articles on the subject. If the cost of the book is preventing you from purchasing it, hopefully this review will change your mind. If you expect to see instructions for making his puppets, you won't. What you will see are solid instructions for making a basic puppet. Once you master the principle of the mouth/face assembly you should be able to understand the many ways you can vary this basic puppet to suit you. This book gives you the basics and your own ingenuity supplies the rest.You do not need any expensive materials. You don't even need a sewing machine.These puppets can also be made in assembly line fashion.If you were to take a class on puppetmaking you would easily spend $40 and notlearn the techniques found in this book.The only issue I noticed was the erroneous use of the term radius when it should be circumference. You are measuring around the outside edge of the mouth. It is correctly illustrated with arrows, however.
This book illustrates every aspect of puppet making, and goes into areas not covered in many books. You don't have to speak "puppet-ease" to know what Pierre is writing about either. And the way the book is written, it is like Pierre is giving you a personal class in puppet-making. I began buying puppets rom Pierre 13 years ago, and have learned a lot from this book, as well as Pierre personally. The bottom line is this ... is it worth the investment of this book (and the materials) to get a message through to children, and hopefully make them laugh? Absolutely!
This book is shy on good photos and illustrations. There are so many other good books for a fraction of the price. While the cover art looks fun you will not find much of this inside the book. For beginning puppet makers this book is far too expensive compared to other books which are easily available with more valuable information illustration and direction. All of the nformation in this book, can be found on the internet with a simple search. There is nothing new in here that warrants having a hard copy version of. I find this nothing more than a good example of why eBook publishing may not be such a good idea sometimes. A book like a Puppet Plant has far more to offer at a fraction of the investment and far more creative and inspiring.
I have in the past looked at other puppet building material and have found that this book is fantastic for a beginner. It is stated that the mouth plate is the hardest part to build, and that was easy. Pierre explains step by step all that is required to build a puppet. It took me three days to create my first ever puppet due to hand stitching the seams. The fact that I can change the patterns whenever I want to create new shaped creations is great. Anyone wanting to get into puppet making - this book is the perfect place to start. Thank you Pierre Gillette for writing this guide.
Very good book on the basics, with good directions and pictures, for making a monster puppet, i.e. Sesame Street.hairy style. Everything you need to know about them to start o your own ideas. Best book I've seen, and believe me I've looked at them ALL!Susi
I am a professional puppet builder and must give credit where it is due. Pierre's book taught me some new tricks and was completely worth my time. He actually offered it for free in the beginning which proved to me that he isn't trying to make a quick buck; this man loves our art-form and wants to promote it. We puppeteers have a motto: "don't work for free." Great job, Pierre!
I love the idea of making a burlap puppet, and can not wait to get started. After reading this book's comprehensive and easy to follow instructions, I have faith that I will be able to make any kind of puppet I can think of. Thanks to the author for taking the time to share his mastery with us. Off to the craft store I go.
This book is fun. All of the directions are easy to follow. Pierre gives detailed instructions with good photos. I believe that even a novice crafter, following his directions, can make awesome puppets. This would be a great resource for any Sunday School class or youth group. After all...who doesn't love puppets?
