A Little Golden Book Jim Henson

“It’s time to play the music. It’s time to light the lights.” And it’s time to introduce the little readers in your life to the man behind the magic.

Nestled inside this collectible Little Golden Book is the inspiring true story of Jim Henson, the creative genius who dreamed up the Muppets and changed the world one puppet at a time. From the clever commercials he made while still in college to beloved classics like Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and Fraggle Rock, right through to the wonder of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, this little biography celebrates a lifetime of imagination.
