Fractured Fairy Tales - Puppet Plays & Patterns
While books are the substance of a storyhour, fingerplays and rhymes make it a program. Here are 24 original fingerplays to delight children. Just a very few seem a bit forced. Seventeen are presented to use as glove puppets and seven as finger puppets. They are separated into these two categories in the table of contents, and the rhymes are listed alphabetically. The patterns can also be used for creating flannel board figures. Directions for making the attractive puppets are clear and simple.
In this exhilarating and often hilarious book, David Crystal examines why we devote so much time and energy to language games, how professionals make a career of them, and how young children instinctively take to them. Crystal makes a simple argument-that since playing with language is so natural, a natural way to learn language is to play with it-while he discusses puns, crosswords, lipograms, comic alphabets, rhymes, funny voices taken from dialect and popular culture, limericks, anagrams, scat singing, and much more.
