The item description mentions something about the King being on your hand. Its more like the King in front of your hand. This is a finger puppet and about all you can make him do is clap. A very nicely dressed finger puppet...I must admit. There are concealed openings at the back of each of the King's arms to insert fingers and one in the back of his head to fit a fingertip. He is best used as a pretend doll. If you're looking for an actual hand puppet... you will be dissapointed.
