Big and Bad

"Big and Bad" features the bullies found in children’s literature: monsters, giants, dragons, the big bad wolf, and more. The kit includes several Folkmanis puppets: a bear, a squirrel, and a chipmunk. It also contains a glove puppet set of "Teasing Mr. Crocodile." There is an 8-minute video of James Marshall’s version of Little Red Riding Hood. Props for the story The Paper Bag Princess are also included.
