This volume provides instruction to enable readers to create simple puppets -- made primarily from socks, felt, and paper plates -- and get them started without much of an investment of time or effort. The authors focus on techniques and materials to create easy and effective one-person shows. This work features complete scripts and instructions based on familiar nursery rhymes, fables, folktales, and picture books that thrill children yet require only a few characters. They also provide step-by-step examples of how to adapt your own favorite stories. Techniques for deciding which stories to use, rehearsing, and voice projection are included.
