Absolutely fantastic deep dive on the creator and creation of so many of my childhood's creative properties. Only downside is some pages are set on overly bright background.

informative lighthearted slow-paced
A solid and delightfully visual retrospective of Henson's work over the decades. Nothing life-changing or particularly insightful; just a relentlessly rose-tinted look at one of 20th century America's most famous puppeteers and puppet innovators.

No rating, because I'm just using this as a coffee table book, and enjoying the pictures. It did get me to watch specific Muppet Show episodes, which was fun!

A fantastic book on the wild breadth of creativity in Jim Henson and all the people involved with his work. There's beautiful full color photographs that give context to the wonderful write ups of all the things he's created.

Great read, but a terribly designed book. If it wasn't about Jim Henson I wouldn't have persevered.

I've had this book for ages. As a Jim Henson fan, it's a must have.
