Amazingly Easy Puppet Plays: 42 New Scripts for One-Person Puppetry
For the novice as well as the more experienced puppeteer, Anderson serves up 42 tried-and-true scripts as suggestions to inspire creativity. She begins with advice on how to bring puppets to life and how to become comfortable maneuvering puppets and talking for them as well as staging the skits, including building a theater. Skits range from variations on traditional children's tales to some that promote reading and libraries. The emphasis is on simple skits, puppets, and props, and skits in each section range from the easiest to stage to the more difficult, and most are followed by a bibliography of related titles. Appendixes present a raft of resources. A handy, practical guide.Sally Estes
