Dave,
Adam Kreutinger has figured out how to make puppetry fun and accessible。 He has a way about him that seems to channel playfulness with a side of "who to"。 The book is a wonderful primer for accessing the world of puppets。 The book does not specifically go over building puppets, but it does direct you to some online resources。 I recommend this book for teens and young adults looking to get into the production of a puppet show or vlog。 Adam Kreutinger has figured out how to make puppetry fun and accessible。 He has a way about him that seems to channel playfulness with a side of "who to"。 The book is a wonderful primer for accessing the world of puppets。 The book does not specifically go over building puppets, but it does direct you to some online resources。 I recommend this book for teens and young adults looking to get into the production of a puppet show or vlog。 。。。more
