Sometimes school can seem like a three-ring circus. Just ask any teacher! Under the big top, beautifully crafted marionettes dance, juggle and swing from the trapeze. Peter reveals some of the secrets behind the art of puppetry and students may be surprised to discover just how much reading and math goes into transforming wood, paint and string into lions, tigers and bears. Oh, my!
