Year of the Puppet

Folkmanis cockroach puppet

I searched high and low for this puppet, because I found this cute puppet play on line called Kiss the Brown Bunny by by Jeannette Jaquish (c) 2000
http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/kissthebrownbunny/

Which can be preformed for free if you notify the author.
You can even rent the puppets if you can't find this retired folkmanis puppet.


But I never did the show. I moved from PVLD to Queens Library the summer Bugs was the theme for summer reading.  And my puppet fun went in to hibernation while I was at QBPL. But it is back in full force working at Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library www.hwpl.org and also being the PJ Library Program Coordinator for Congregation Sons of Israel.

From Muppet Wiki

In 1993, Hasbro released three kits of puppet toys based on the Muppet Workshop's Whatnot puppets under the Playskool label. Each set came with a set of body parts to create your own Whatnot character or monster, not unlike the way real Whatnot characters are created in the workshop.
