Just ask Chef Alfredo ‘Al’ Dente for the special of the day! Use one hand to manipulate the puppet’s mouth and facial expressions while gesturing with the removable wooden rod with the other. Detachable rod is suitable for lefties or righties! Review: He can be your friend indeed. - It is a nice puppet which can be used to enhance your storytelling techniques. The mouth areas moves as it should. The access to it is a bit tight. It takes a long time to arrive. The only (small) issue is that the finishing of the clothing at one of the seams was not neat. Other than that, its all good. Hope this helps you decide. Review: Not good - The quality of product was not upto the mark as compared to the price. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07KBNQXNN | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #151,643 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #203 in Hand Puppets | | Brand | Melissa & Doug | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,027 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000772303538 | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 11.4 x 26.7 x 41.9 Centimeters | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 11.4 x 26.7 x 41.9 Centimeters | | Manufacturer | Melissa & Doug | | Manufacturer Part Number | 30353 | | Material | Wood | | Model Number | 30353 | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Set Name | Al Dente | | Size | 16.51 inches | | Theme | Cartoon | | UPC | 000772303538 | | character | Al Dente | ## Product Details - **Assembly Required:** No - **Brand:** Melissa & Doug - **Cartoon Character:** Al Dente - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 11.4 x 26.7 x 41.9 Centimeters - **Material:** Wood - **Number of Pieces:** 1 - **Size:** 16.51 inches - **Theme:** Cartoon - **UPC:** 000772303538 ## Images ![Chef Puppet with Detachable Wooden Rod for Animated Gestures - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71tFRIuf56L.jpg) ![Chef Puppet with Detachable Wooden Rod for Animated Gestures - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71M2hoqFeeL.jpg) ![Chef Puppet with Detachable Wooden Rod for Animated Gestures - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FiSu7q6UL.jpg) ![Chef Puppet with Detachable Wooden Rod for Animated Gestures - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GSNAGui5L.jpg) ![Chef Puppet with Detachable Wooden Rod for Animated Gestures - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UXCcy8jKL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: how big is it? like can it fit in any hand size?** A: I don’t know about any size hand but I’m an adult and it fits mine just great.
