Greart Book, captures the true spirit of a Punch and Judy show!

If you are a fan of "real" Punch and Judy shows, this book is for you. The author has captured Punch's lively spirit from the stage and put it in this verry funny picture book. All the classic characters, the crocodile, Judy, the baby, the police man, etc, are all here, and the illustrations have a sense of the wonderful rythmic comic timing that is vital to a good Punch puppet show. This book does contain classic Punch style violence, and is maybe not for the youngest of childern, but the author has an excellent afterward that explains the tradition of Punch and reminds the reader that his actions and violence are not real, and would not be ok in real life. It would make even make an excellent spring board for a talk with your child about this issue. This book is a very enjoyable, funny read for older childern and adults alike, and I would hate to see such a wonderful character as Punch lost to a generation because we were too wrapped up in trying to be P.C. to talk and read with kids.
