1: Just a great book
If you are just getting into puppet building or veteran looking for some creative inspiration this book is most definitely worth a look. Everything is clearly explained, including color pictures. Even if you are just looking for crafts to do with the kids this book is worth the money as it will help you with projects that use very basic craft supplies and items around the house.
If you like this book I would suggest checking out another book by author John Kennedy, Puppet Planet.

2: great ideas and amazing puppets
This book is wonderful to use with the kids, all the puppets and very easy to make and my six year old has made just about every puppet in the book already! The instructions are easy for him to follow and the puppets always come out great!

3: Puppet Mania
Well,
It is good for kids, and as a teaching aid, Good photo reference ,pattern samples. An ideal book for beginners and show an array of materials that can be used with construction methods. Even though i would not really use it as a propmaker I would use it to teach or make puppets with my son.
p/s I would buy this before buying the foam book

4: My students love the book!
I am an Elementary Art Teacher and the ideas in this book are perfectly suited for my students and class. I have, also, used the ideas at home with my own children. It's a colorful, well organized, easy to read guide ranging from easy to more challenging puppet making ideas for kids.
The Amazon book description clearly indicates that the book is geared toward children. I don't understand why the other reviewers didn't read what they were buying. If you don't know what you're buying, then there is a great chance that you won't get what you want. It was frustrating reading those reviews and it almost caused me not to purchase the book.
Anyway, my students and I love the book and have enjoyed making the puppets! I'd love to see more books and perhaps some demonstration CDs that my class could watch before beginning a project. Just a idea.

5: A nice starter for children.
I was alittle disappointed when I receieved this book. God knows the title is a bit of an exageration. If you're buying for a child who needs craft projects for a rainy day then this is the book for you.
As an adult with a career in puppet building I found it a waste of money. Unless you're making a show that revolves around paper plate puppets.
