Summary: Great ideas for introducing children to theater and drama
Comment: Focuses on conducting "Storytelling Arts" programs with children 4 to 10 years old, and is suitable for educators, libraries, scouting groups, etc. Illustrated with b/w photorealistic line drawings, the puppet and mask projects in this book are all constructed using everyday materials in a big way. Paper plates, paper bags, cloth, and cardboard are transformed into large parade-oriented and theatrical puppets, including an elephant, a dragon, a lion, a giraffe, and even an "Overbearing Ogre." The chapter on "Scenery in Motion" shows how youngsters can participate as active scenery in plays, whether as a "Wandering Mountain," or a "Tumultuous Thundercloud," to name a few. This book is great for anyone working with children and theater, and would be very helpful to teachers directing a grade school play; but the seasoned puppeteer or storyteller would do well to look elsewhere.
