A complete "how-to" book on puppets and plays. This how-to manual explores a contemporary technique of Christian education. It describes various types of puppets and how to make them. The instructions are simple; the materials needed are minimal and easily obtained. The book also includes several complete puppet plays, some based on favorite Bible characters.

This book was published in 1992, and needs to be up-dated as it is a wonderful format. The information is dated, and many of the retail places mentioned may not be in existance after 8 years. I would love to see a year 2000 version!

Here's a wonderful pocket reference for touring London. (Up Close books are available for other cities, too.) From any spot in the city, the book gives you a bird's eye, fully two-dimensional, street-by-street, building-by-building, park-by-park, intersection-by-intersection view of where you are, what's around you, and what's on the next street or the next block. Use it in conjunction with a conventional street map; it's like being there before you get there. And best of all, with increasing distance away from your point of view on the pages, the 2-D line drawings don't get smaller, perspective-wise. We've used the Up Close books in Paris and Rome: enormously helpful and fun.
