they create such as Babe, the Muppets and the 101 Dalmatian
puppies.

Reviewer: A reader from United Kingdom
This is a great book, packed full of colour pictures, and
the text is a fascinating insight into how the designers and
puppeteers bring their creations to life. If has chapters
covering everything from the history of the Creature Shop
to how they create and operate the eyes of the puppets. You
will also be surprised at how many films you have seen containing
Creature Shop creations - often not even realising they are
puppets (eg 101 Dalmations). Well worth a look!
