Mighty easy motivators

If you've got an envelope handy, or a paper cup, or a cereal box, you're ready to lead kids to literature through puppetry - Caroline Feller Bauer style. The Bauer style, celebrated throughout the world, means maximum fun for kids with minimum training, preparation, and costs. Bauer's charmingly chatty lessons set your stage up in a wink. She then introduces literature selections to perform - and here draws upon her experience in choosing readings that work. More than thirty selections are presented along with scores of recommended books and a selection on puppetry resources
