Turn It Up, Doris! (Puppet Pop Ups) by Sam Lloyd

by Sam Lloyd

Doris has to go to school and sing a special song—but she is so shy! Young children will love the sweet and shy Doris in this wonderful, interactive new series by award-winning creator Sam Lloyd. See the story unfold in this unique book and hand puppet format that parents can use to act out each page. Doris and her big brother Boris play in the school yard, but Doris is so quiet, Boris forgets she's there and…crash! Doris sings a song in school, but the teacher can barely hear her lovely voice. How will she ever be heard? It's not until Boris finds himself in serious danger that Doris finally �turns it up”—and shouts loud enough to get help for her big brother!
