Adults who are looking for a quick, unfussy way to present stories, songs, and rhymes to children will find enough material in Puppet Magic to launch them into a timeless art form. While not as complete or detailed as Nancy Renfro's books, Lowe and Matthew's title gives beginners just enough material and easy puppets-made primarily from socks, felt, and paper plates-to get them started without much of an investment of time or effort. The book is ideal for anyone who needs a puppet show "real fast," or who might want to try performing with puppets as one of the thousand other things they're called on to do daily. Photos, patterns, online resources, and a good resource list are included.-Walter Minkel, Austin Public Library, TX
