Jim Henson

Description:

If you want to make the world a better place, making people happy is a great way to start. So sixteen-year-old Jim and a friend built their own puppets and got their first job on TV. In time, audiences all over the world would fall in love with Jim's Muppets -- Kermit the Frog, Big Bird, and Miss Piggy, to name a few. Jim's childhood dreams had come true: the world was a better place, and puppets weren't just for kids anymore... they were for everyone! - Jacket flap.
