Worlds of Shadow: Teaching with Shadow Puppetry

Great book for anyone who teaches shadow puppetry or works in children's theatre/puppetry. There are fabulous ideas and examples within this book.

Great initial or elementary primer for the study of silhouettes, shadow puppetry, and their use through theatrical performance or in animation.

We found this book very helpful in beginning to do shadow puppetswith children. Clear illustrations of how to make puppets, the theatre andto produce little plays. Hightly recommended.

Although this book is a wealth of information, it is most useful to someone who has access to an overhead projector. If you are a "regular" person who would like to do shadow puppets in your home for their kids and grandkids, this may not be the book for you. The one good thing about the book is that there are some good patterns for shadow puppets. The book is advertised as a teaching aid, but I was unaware that the only projection system they recommend and explain in detail is the overhead projector.

Practical useful guide especially for newcomers to shadow puppets.
