Bow Tie Penguin Puppet
Fall 2011 ToysReview:
The soft construction of this irresistible puppet will entice all ages into playful fun and entertainment. The opening for the puppeteer's hand allows two fingers to enter the flipper sections (for gesturing) and two into the mouth area (for talking). The mouth can be opened wide enough to "bite" the flippers, thus allowing a wide range of puppet expressions and movements. A red gingham bow tie projects a different flair to the character's persona. An attached story about a penguin waiter-turned-comedian will entice young learners to compose and perform other stories with penguin characters.
