This book has a lot of helpful information for builders of all skill levels. Not only does it provide the prospective puppeteer several different techniques, but you also get a list of resources for the various materials that go into building puppets. From various foam suppliers to the rare distributor of the holy grail of fleeces this book will help you track down what you need.

I expected more from a 25$ book, this is not suitable for kids due to the fact that there is nearly not enough diagrams and simple color images.
For young adults maybe good but again not enough break down on the actual manufacturing process. I don't like putting bad reviews, but due to the fact that I use a lot of books to teach and work. This is deffently overrated. My advice is start with 'the puppetry handbook' by Anita Sinclair ....It is great value

I got this book for my 11-year-old boy. I can't imagine a better book to show you how to make puppets. It has everything you need!

This is a GREAT book in so many ways but I do feel as a beginner that there are a few things they left out. I found myself left with a few questions and no way of discovering what to do next. One thing that would of been great would be fabric/material swatches. I think I know what I'm looking for but swatches would help.

I bought the foam book at an early stage in my puppet making, I'd made two puppets by that point and thought I'd learn a lot from this book.
In particular I'd hoped for a lot of info on creating foam patterns for head shapes. This area in the book is really not very good. It only briefly touches on the three piece head patterns and the examples they give don't even work in practice without some serious adjustment. Though if you're at a very early stage you find some info useful.
