CHILDREN'S BOOKS WITH PUPPETS
Although all our Folkmanis animal hand puppets can be purchased separately, we have selected hand puppets and combined these with children's books relating to the specific animal. At present we have over 100 book and puppet combinations. Our book
range covers; modern and classic fiction, poetry and English language teaching literature - Cambridge story books and synthetic phonics.
In addition, we have carefully selected animal books that are aimed at helping children to cope, understand or accept issues which require sensitive handling. Each one is paired with a relevant puppet.
We also have 'Puppetry books' which have script suggestions, ideas and tips that will assist in the manipulation of full bodied character puppets within the classroom.
See: BOOK SHOP
New items are introduced from both manufacturers each year, so we are constantly adding new stock, and increasing our range. However, if you would like a particular puppet, we will be pleased to order it for you, and we will contact you via email regarding expected delivery.
