“Can you
tell me how to get… to Sesame Street.” There are very few children in America
who have never encountered Sesame Street or other odd looking puppets. And this
is due in part to the vision and artistry of Jim Henson.
“The Guy Who
Played with Puppets” is a simple biography of Jim Henson the man who helped
bring puppets to the mainstream and keep them there. So many of us begin our
you lives with the likes of Big Bird and Elmo on Sesame Street and we reveled
in the silly humor of the Muppets, who are still going strong. Jim Henson was a
visionary who even helped bring “Jedi Master Yoda” to life in the original Star
Wars Trilogy. Jim Henson truly was a visionary, and his legacy still lives on
as many of his creations are still going strong.
This book is
a great introduction to Jim Henson. It also provides a list of written sources
and websites where students can find out more about creative genius.
