The Most Excellent Book of How to Be a Puppeteer by Roger Lade, illustrated by Rob Shone

With instructions detailing how to create a variety of puppets including: basic glove puppets, rod puppets, shadow puppets, marionettes, and bunraku-style puppets this book really lives up to its name! Sidebar information gives kids tips on how to handle puppets and construct sturdy puppet booths. This book would be an excellent source for programming in public libraries. Fourth graders and up will enjoy the process of creating their own puppet characters and performing shows for friends and family.

Genre: Non-Fiction
