Connie Champlin's best-seller Storytelling with Puppets is back! This revision brings back to print one of ALA's greatest all-time hits among children's librarians. The first edition, written by Connie Champlin and (the late) Nancy Renfro went through several printings after its 1985 debut.
In this latest revision of Storytelling With Puppets, Connie Champlin has polished themes and fine-tuned sections to meet today's ever-changing programming environment, paying special attention to literature-based instruction and multicultural themes. Designed for the individual storyteller working in informal settings, Storytelling with Puppets unveils myriad techniques sure to invigorate younger audiences, including open-box theaters, sound and action stories, and story aprons.
This edition also offers a complete repertory for children's storytellers, whether budding or accomplished puppeteers. Encouraging flexibility and creative new ideas, Connie Champlin's latest effort is a resource readers can turn to again and again.
