Library Lion“Even for this adult reviewer, the lion puppet quickly became something magical: with the tilt of his head, his wide-open, half-lidded or closed eyes, a dip of the puppeteer’s knee, the lift of a paw or the flick of its tail, this amiable king-of-beasts conveyed happiness, pleasure, sadness, disappointment, distress, warmth, anxiety, and a host of other emotions. The three puppeteers worked together seamlessly; one soon forgot they were there.”
