I suppose 'talking' could be an adjective in the context of a 
 talking glove puppet     - unless of course it's a 
 speaking glove puppet    or a 
 laughing glove puppet... or maybe a 
 talking hand puppet, 
 speaking hand puppet     or 
 laughing hand puppet.    (How exact do we have to be, anyway? :-)

Hey! Maybe I got the wrong two words - maybe it's a
 talking/speaking/laughing frog puppet

(WARNING - Slightly topical old joke follows. Oh, and I've just thought
- non-UK viewers might not understand...)

What is this? (Imagine thumb wiggling and smallest 2 fingers wiggling
together)

















Sooty in the nude :-)

(How widely-known is Sooty? I didn't think about asking people while I
was travelling... Just in case you don't know, he's a little yellow
glove puppet teddy-bear who has entertained a few generations of British
TV watching children.
