Company Information
Book Props are handmade, beautifully detailed, interactive sets that add depth and visual excitement to storytelling in classroom and library group settings. A few pieces are generic characters, but most are based on our own visual reinvention of the images of specific children's books. We never copy illustrations from the books we use, in fact we go out of our way to make them entirely our own. Our Show-a-tale aprons and banners, with Velcro-sticking ability, are the preferred methods of presentation for our props. Our work is entirely made here in Oregon and is original, well-crafted and fully guaranteed. This is the only place on the planet where Book Props can be purchased. We use a variety of durable fabrics from brushed nylon to felted wool, much of which we dye to get specific colors. The individual pieces are sewn, silkscreened, sometimes stuffed and finely hand painted. The intent is to capture the attention of children to bring stories alive and to add a visual dimension to the unique pleasure that is storytelling. We do all we can to imbue our work with our passion for ideas, books and reading.
