Simple puppets you can make

the long version

Simple Puppets You Can Make is a how-to book of patterns and instructions for making a whole host of puppet characters in a variety of styles, from finger puppets to classic three-fingered puppets to mouth puppets. The more than 30 designs include all manner of animals (from bears and rabbits to lion and crocodile) and characters (wizard, cowboy, troll, and gypsy, to name a few), plus detailed patterns and instructions. The book is illustrated with colour photos and line drawings by the author, and contains a helpful chapter on materials and construction techniques.
