Meet Nora, my new storytime puppet. I love her. If you are looking for a well made puppet, I recommend this. She is very soft and easy to manipulate. You can move her mouth and both front legs. I plan to dress her up in cat costumes and get her a name tag that says "Nora the Library Cat".
Nora is a Folkmanis puppet and I got her from Amazon:

I was worried from the Amazon photo that she might be scary, but as you can see from my photo, she is rather more goofy. I ordered Nora myself, because I want to keep her.
My library ordered me some nice new things also. I got them all from Lakeshore Learning.

Thanks, Kathy! The babies love it.
Altogether a swell haul.
