	TV ACRES: Children's Show Hosts - Shari Lewis (Kartoon Club)
		Shari Lewis "the puppeteer to the baby boomers" was once described as having "childlike excitement, an entertainers savvy and a librarian's heart." She began her career by winning three appearances on ARTHUR GODFREY'S TALENTS SCOUTS radio program in 1952, and followed that success by starring in KARTOON CLUB on WRCA-TV in 1953.
		According to Shari Lewis, her puppet Lamb Chop was born when her father, Dr. Abraham B. Hurwitz (a professor of education at Yeshiva University and an accomplished magician) said "If Mary had a little lamb, why not Shari?" By practicing at home in front of a mirror, Shari improvised her way to stardom.
		Shari's talents inspired her to write a number of books including her first book The Shari Lewis Puppet Book (Citadel Press, 1958); and a series of thirty-six Kids Only Club books commissioned by Holt Rinehart and Winston in 1979 that taught kids crafts and entrepreneurial skills.
