Holy cow, Jackee and Alan! This is one of the truly great puppet books of all time! I can well appreciate how hard it must have been to make choices about which puppets and stories to include, but kudos for doing it with such flair. It’s beautifully designed, the photos are fabulous, and I can definitely hear Alan’s voice and artful selection of the humorous detail. I’ve already laughed out loud several times, and I’ve only begun to read. This is a treasure. Thanks so much for making it.
Have a great time at the national festival! Bring lots of copies – I think they will go fast!
love,
Lynn Jeffries
