John Kennedy's "Puppet Planet" shares twelve new puppet projects, each using a variety of techniques, many of which have never been presented in a book before. It features "action panels" so readers can see how each puppet comes to life. It includes staging ideas to play up each project's uniqueness. It builds on the author's experience working for the Jim Henson Company and as a professional puppeteer. With this fun book, readers will find everything they need to become rulers of their own puppet planets.

Puppet Planet is a interesting puppet construction book. I brought it to give me ideas for the construction of a basic puppet with a low budget and I am glad to say it was very helpful. With methods and ideas that are easy, cheap to make and look great as the end result. I would say the book isn't really meant for people that are looking for the 'Professional Way' to make puppets (kitchen spoons of all things!) but the simple layout and original ideas seem a great/fun way to create what you want and any beginner that was looking to be creative would find plenty of ideas to have fun with! Or in my case, save the day for someone needing desperate inspiration.

We love this book. My son can't wait to make some this week. It's aimed at someone who has none or little puppet knowledge. Instructions clear and with photos.
Not for a person who is versed in puppet making though.

Let the Puppet making begin!
18 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
John Kennedy has really out done himsef with this book. There is an overwhelming wealth of ideas and techniques included. Not to mention step-by-step detailed instructions and colorful photos to walk you through it. This book would be great for a budding puppeteer, teacher,or anyone interested in arts and crafts. Of all the puppet books I have viewed, this one would be in my top 5 to recommend.

A great guide

Like most of the people looking up this book, and books like it, I have been a Muppet fan for as long as I can remember. The idea of making puppets has been an interest for almost as long. Now that I have my own children this is as good a time as any and this book is a great place to start.
I bought this book, Puppetmania (also by John Kennedy), and the Foam Book and would suggest all of them to beginning (and maybe even seasoned) puppet makers. Between the three books very little information is repeated and all of it is informative.
This book, specifically, not only covers hand puppets but some rather fun projects that can be done with the kids, including the spoon frog and the shoebox monster.
So, if you are a parent looking for puppet projects to do with the kids, an amateur looking to get started, or a puppet vet looking to for something different then it is well worth checking this book out.
