Come join us for Bring Your Child to the Library Day and celebrate with Nappy's Puppets!

Nappyʼs Puppets: Shadow shows for young and old....

For thousands of years, man has manipulated puppets for a variety of reasons: religion, education, and entertainment. One of the oldest and most wonderful forms of puppetry is shadow puppetry. People might not recognize Jim Napolitano even though he is broadcast to millions of television sets nationwide. That’s because as a puppeteer he spends most of his time out of the camera’s view. His television credits include Between the Lions on PBS, The Book of Pooh on the Disney Channel and the new cartoon Kirby, on Fox. Jim is a graduate of the University of Connecticut’s Puppet Arts Program and a native of Milford, Connecticut.

Sing-A-Long with Nappy’s Puppets: How many of these songs do you know: Little Bunny Foo-Foo? Five Little Ducks? The Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly? Five Little Monkeys Jumpin’ on the Bed? Join in the fun as Jim Napolitano of Nappy’s Puppet presents some of the silliest sing-a-long songs know to mankind.
