Andy Laties and Rebecca Migdal opened Book & Puppet Co. in September of 2017, with aspirations of intertwining whimsical and improvised puppet shows with a classical bookstore. Laties, a bookseller and author, and Migdal, a children's author and puppeteer, began performing their Fractured Fables children's puppet show in 2012 at the Bank Street Bookstore in New York City, and decided to share their love for performing by opening a joint puppet theater and bookstore in the Lehigh Valley. “Our puppet shows were very popular in New York City, and we enjoy doing them almost as much as the children enjoy watching them,” Migdal says. “It's also a great way to attract new customers and to provide a service to the community.” Their store is jam-packed with children's books, graphic novels, puppets, art supplies, games, musical toys, cards and stationery, discount books and hilarious novelties that will keep customers laughing as they browse the unique merchandise that is lovingly selected to delight and surprise.
