BONUS MECHANICS RATING:Star Rating You get more than 100 ideas thrown at you for puppets and the materials to make them from - there's a lot in this book for the adventurous.

SUMMARY- There aren't any patterns in this, and only brief sketches of what the puppet might look like and a brief description of materials and how to construct the puppet. There are also suggestions for small plays to perform or bits to entertain. This wasn't my cup of tea, but I think a creative kid could have fun with it.
