EVERETT, WA--In an attack denounced by Crestwood Elementary School teachers as shameful and thoroughly uncalled-for, educational puppet Donny Dungarees was pelted with crayons during a fourth-grade assembly Monday.

Dungarees, a 26-inch-tall felt puppet with orange yarn-hair, sustained minor injuries in the attack, including a torn plaid kerchief and crayon marks to the face and neck. Dungarees' puppet pals Peggy Pipecleaners and Friendly Policeman Henry were unharmed.
