A Show of Hands - Book

Puppets aren't strictly for play! Written by a puppeteer and an educator, A Show of Hands presents innovative ways to use puppets as valuable and developmentally appropriate teaching tools in the early childhood classroom. This unique resource describes how the use of puppets can support emergent literacy skills, introduce children's literature, and manage the classroom. Includes tips for designing, constructing, or purchasing your own puppets. Also includes a chapter on using puppets with special needs children (i.e. autism, ADD/ADHD, hearing or sight impairments).
