Endorsement From Carol Edwards,
Children's Services Manager,
Denver Public Library: No matter whether you're a puppet pro or a complete novice, Laurel's great scripts and hints will help you get more early literacy mileage out of your puppets and story times. She is knowledgeable, thorough and doesn't forget that having fun is what it's all about.

Description: Join Piggy Rae and her silly friends Bernie Bear, Tommy Turtle, Alistair McMoose and others in these engaging and interactive puppet skits that encourage both laughter and learning. This guide gives you everything you need for lively storytimes. In addition to ten complete scripts, you'll find literacy tips, preparatory checklists of materials and props needed, patterns, lists of books for literacy building displays, activities that relate to the story and promote early literacy, and take-home reproducibles for caregivers that help them reinforce the six early literacy skills. Designed for PreK-Grade 3, the puppet plays are perfect for in-house storytime settings and for community outreach projects. Grades PreK-3.
