Average rating4
If you want to make the world a better place, making people happy is a great way to start. So sixteen-year-old Jim and a friend built their own puppets and got their first job on TV. In time, audiences all over the world would fall in love with Jim's Muppets -- Kermit the Frog, Big Bird, and Miss Piggy, to name a few. Jim's childhood dreams had come true: the world was a better place, and puppets weren't just for kids anymore... they were for everyone! - Jacket flap.

One of two juvenile biographies of Jim Henson I received for Christmas. I really enjoyed it, especially the pictures. The more I learn about the Muppets and Jim Henson, the more I appreciate them. (I've always loved The Muppet Christmas Carol and “Fraggle Rock,” but am just starting to get into the original Muppet world.) I'm not sure how this book would be received by school-aged kids, but in light of the latest big screen movie starring Jim Henson's originals, it might go over pretty well.
