What is Jim Henson : the guy who played with puppets about?

<p><i>Sesame Street</i> and <i>The Muppet Show</i> introduced Jim Henson's Muppets to the world, making Kermit the Frog, Oscar the Grouch, and Big Bird household names. But even as a child in rural Mississippi, listening to the radio and putting on comedy shows for his family, Jim recognized the power of laughter to bring people together. On <i>Sesame Street</i>, Jim's Muppets transformed children's television by making learning fun for kids everywhere. A visionary, Jim always believed that puppets could reach a wider audience. In 1976, he proved it, drawing millions of family viewers to <i>The Muppet Show</i>. With his feature film <i>The Dark Crystal</i> and his Star Wars characters-including Yoda-Jim continued to push the boundaries of what was possible in puppetry until his death in 1990 at the age of 53.</p><p>Kathleen Krull, recipient of the Children's Book Guild 2011 Non-fiction Award and many other accolades, once again does what she does so well-illuminating the life of an important figure in history, art, and culture with her informative but approachable writing style.</p>
