Books, Puppets and Toys - Books

Books bring together the pictures and narrative of a sequence of events. Good books are colorful and clever and hold our attention even after “The End” is reached. Great books remind us of the world we live in and encourage us to ponder the mysteries that challenge us each day. Books that go beyond two dimensions are a treat for the senses. Stories with pieces and parts to examine and move bring life to the words that describe them. Children delight in coming back to these stories again and again. Most of the art work and photos shown here are original. Many of the stories are copyright free. Sources will be included. Where a tutorial is available a link will be provided.
