After having been signed up for a Little League team by his grandfather, Little Rhino finds his excitement waning when he discovers that a bully's wearing the same uniform that he is.

When Little Rhino goes down with an injury that forces him to sit out of games, he discovers he can still be a good teammate by helping his friends while away from the action.

The hand-puppet play starring the characters Punch and Judy was introduced from England and became extremely popular in the US in the 1800s. This book contains the record of what the author has learned about almost 350 American Punch players. And it explores the significance of the 19th-century American show as a reflection of the attitudes and conditions of its time and place.

Besides the author's research on Paul McPharlin and puppetry, this book draws on significant contributions from McPharlin wife, puppeteer and author. The chapters take the reader through McPharlin's childhood as a loner in Detroit, his maturation and education in New York, and his early, erratic and often unsuccessful attempts at making a living.
