Product Description
Product Description
Dinosaurs rumble across the earth again as incredible folded origami figures. They may be made of paper, but your creatures will have a touch of realism to take you back to prehistoric times (especially when they are posed in realistic settings). Their distinctive features look great when interpreted in paper - a long graceful neck, for example, or a spiky arched back: Turn loose a Velociraptor, bent into a crouch over its long, lean legs; Hang up a few Pteranodons to glide across the room; Make Ankylosaurus skin that looks like armour; Set free a group of Brontosaurs with their necks extended high; Let Compsognathus stand as tall as it can on its two back legs; Position a Tyrannosaur looking back, with its mouth open, as if to attack; Other origami models are: Pelycosaur; Triceratops; Stegosaur; Barosaur; Muraenosaur; Parasaurolophus; Pachycephalosaur; Fantasy Dilophosaur; Basic Instructions; Symbols & Lines; Basic folds; Base folds; Dinosaur Notes; In full colour, with over 550 colour photographs & colour drawings.

Marrying two of the best things in the universe (Dinosaurs and Origami), Duy has produced a wonderful guide that educates and inspires.
Not a day has passed since purchasing this book that I have no made at least two varieties of dinosaur.
The various designs are different enough to satisfy all skill levels.
Coupled with some good thin textured square paper, this book will provide a great distraction from the mundane non-dinosaur related activities that fill up your lives...
This is a good one

Good basic dinosaurs
3 April 2003
Format:Hardcover
This book contains a small collection of dinosaur models. Some require a little more imagination than others, but the origami enthusiast should be able to create a nice collection of prehistoric beasts in just a short time.
The illustrations are very clear and easy to follow and the overall look of the book is very pleasing utilizing clear creative photography.
There is some use of multiple pieces of paper which might be unwelcome to some folders, but it is a nice collection of animals at a beginner to low-intermediate level.

Dinosaur Origami
17 May 2002
Format:Hardcover
I strongly disagreed with the previous reviewer. My 8 year old son picked up the first book (Fantasy Origamy)and was able to fold a whale in 2 tone colors in 30 mins. He took the book and shared it with his classmates and many of them folded different animals during their freetime without guidance (and enjoyed the activity tremendously). I find the instruction very easy to understand; the cutting to accomplished certain shape and curves (which make the animals look real) is very innovative and artistic by itself. Who said that origami (ART) had to conform to traditional style without cutting. My son was so excited when I got the Dinosaur book for him since he recognized all dinosaur names and shapes today. He is sharing this new book again with his friends and classmates tomorrow.

A Waste of Paper
2 May 2002
Format:Hardcover
First things first--this is not, in a strict sense, an origami book. Most models employ cutting. That in itself would not be terrible, but the real shame of this book are the folding directions. They're just plain bad. Beginners will be frustrated by the inaccurate drawings and more advanced folders will have no interest in these models. All of this begs the question: Why did this publisher lavish so much attention on this rather amateurish book (and other books by this same author) when so many better origami creators don't even have a publisher?
