Jim Henson: The Works by Christopher Finch

Five and a Half Thoughts About Jim Henson:

1. If I could do any job I wanted, I would want to be a Henson puppeteer.

2. Remember when Itzhak Perlman was on Sesame Street? He was hanging out by Oscar’s garbage can and Slimy the worm was perched on his violin bow. Yeah, that was my favorite.

2 ½. The Muppet Movie: “Dee feeelm eees okeee dokeee!”

3. When I was in college, I applied for a summer internship at the Jim Henson Company. I didn’t get it.

4. This book is a treasure. It covers all of Henson’s work, including experimental creations and non-Muppet projects. Worth the price for the pictures alone, and the behind-the-scenes peeks at the Henson workshop.

6. Jim Henson was a GENIUS. Who will take his place in the 21st century?
