Puppets -- Juvenile poetry.

Alternate title:

1 v. (unpaged) p. : col. ill. ; 27 cm.

Introduces puppets created out of found objects by describing each with a poem. Little Cranberry Island. It s a small island, with fewer than a hundred inhabitants, but it s got more than its share of treasures including the magnificent Ashley Bryan himself, a world-renowned storyteller and author of such classics as All Night, All Day and Beautiful Blackbird. Daily, for decades, Ashley has walked up and down the beach, stopping to pick up sea glass, weathered bones, a tangle of fishing net, an empty bottle, a doorknob. Treasure. And then, with glue and thread and paint and a sprinkling of African folklore, Ashley breathes new life into these materials. Others might consider it beach junk, but Ashley sees worlds of possibilities.

Children's poetry.
