'Stimulating and educational… This resource promotes puppets as performance tools as opposed to a craft-making activity. I would recommend this resource to teachers at every applicable Key Stage.'

"There's no doubt that it will [enhance learning], partially because of the structured approach which invites participation. It also invites students to take into account what they already know, an absolute key for enhancing learning." M Haining, Head of Drama and Independent Reviewer.
I thought it was well organised and detailed, with plenty of exercises, and, at the end, lots of evaluation which could be useful for the students. I like the logical, well set out detail/Activity/Evaluation organisation.
'Motivating, practical and fun. I really enjoyed reviewing this. I found it stimulating and educational.' M Dunn, Drama Examiner
"I reallyy enjoyed this resource and would most definitely purchase it...Task 5 in particular is really good. I value these levels of co-operation and intimacy - it is cheap to resource and good Drama." N Phillips, Drama Teacher and Independent Reviewer
'Very good, comprehensive and well-researched with a lot of information and resources for lessons. Nicely presented and illustrated. Gives a detailed insight into puppetry... Links into drama as a genre and will help less confident students to perform. The lessons are backed up with good illustrations, clear objectives and supportive written tasks.' B Myers, Drama Teacher and Independent Reviewer
