Closed may mean “closed” to you. But for three story-hour puppets, Closed means “open for adventure.”

"Tillotson’s oil paintings expand upon the imaginative flights of fancy; everyday items cast appropriately eerie shadows through clever manipulations of their placement." —Kirkus Reviews

"The world created is one in which small fears arise and are easily conquered, and everyone goes happily to sleep on the last page.” —New York Times Book Review
