## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the puppet have a rod/wand you can move its hand with?**
A: Yes, there's a wooden rod for one hand attached with velcro, so it's removable.  Very cute, made very well.

**Q: Does it say what the item is on the box? I'm getting 2 for my younger sisters an they'll see them when they arrive.**
A: It won't tell what's in the box if it's still in the brown packaging.

**Q: Would this be suitable for an 11 year old?**
A: Yes, this should be perfect for a child of 11 years old.

**Q: Can you sow chef pepe on the puppet**
A: Hi Gio! If you want to sew or embroider "Chef Pepe" onto your chef you may...simply remove his jacket and sew away! And all this time, we thought his name was Chef Al Dente...LOL!
