I bought this book originally to support Adam and his battle against brain cancer, but what I found in this book is huge amount inspiration. This book showed me how many similarities there are with puppetry and other forms of performing arts. This is not merely a book about puppets, but a book about writing, cinematography, and acting. I never really considered that, but I now realize why I was drawn to puppets as a kid and still now. I will say that this book doesn’t teach how to physically make the puppet (he does have resources though), but the character and personality itself. Adam makes a lot of points about practicing and that you don’t have to be perfect, but you do need to just “do.” I tend to forget and ignore this when it comes to any art form I may be learning, but this book was a good kick in the tush to be mindful of that.

Although I might not be making a puppet show anytime soon, this has inspired me to keep pushing forward with other creative pursuits, even if they seem difficult at the current time. Also, it’s just a very interesting read to see what all goes into producing television puppetry.

Adam Kreutinger has figured out how to make puppetry fun and accessible. He has a way about him that seems to channel playfulness with a side of "who to". The book is a wonderful primer for accessing the world of puppets. The book does not specifically go over building puppets, but it does direct you to some online resources. I recommend this book for teens and young adults looking to get into the production of a puppet show or vlog.

This is a great and concise book that introduces puppetry in a very accessible way. The chapter on practice is so articulate and is often a part of the process which is glossed over. It’s great to have a modern book aimed at beginners and also valuable for others. Bravo Adam!
