Format:Paperback
An excellent book with a great selection of origami dinosaurs. The book contains instructions for 27 dinosaurs and 3 pieces of scenery. You might be hard pressed to tell the T-rex from the Allosaurus or the Sphaerotholus, but there are differences. Most of the models are of medium challenge to fold, and you'll probably need some experience before they'll look the part. There's a quick intro explaining how to read diagrams to get you started, so a beginner could probably manage with some practice. The diagrams themselves are well presented and easy to follow (at least for an enthusiast with some experience). A lot of the models turned out nice using standard office paper (80 g/sq m), although the more advanced ones became too fat in the folds nearing the end of the instructions, needing thinner paper to get the layers in the right places. The more advanced models here will challenge even the advanced origami enthusiast. Excellent book if you want to go beyond flapping birds and paper cranes!

Some new models, some small modifications, but still too close to previous Montroll Preistoric Animals. If you don't have it then put five stars.

Very good updated version of Prehistoric Origami
6 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book says it has 25 models on the front cover but it actually has 31. Most of the models are directly from the previously released Prehistoric Origami book. There are 9 new models in this book along with a few redesigned models. Only 2 models were left out of the previous book. The models are from extremely simple to very complex. As in all of Montroll's books, the models are very detailed and the instructions are very clear and well diagramed.

Not bad, but doesn't use traditional bases
16 Sep 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The diagrams and folding instructions are quite detailed, though the amount of prefolding can be a bit intimidating at times. The book establishes it's own set of bases to fold from, although none of them are traditional. (kite, diamond, water balloon, etc.) I found using larger-than-average (9"+) origami paper made things much easier, since the area around the arms of the bipedal dinosaurs and hind legs of the quadrupeds gets pretty compact and difficult to fold when nearing completion.
ROAR! & COOOOOOL

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this for my 5yr old nephew, and it blew him away. Had it for several months and the new hasn't worn off yet. It also met the intellectual requirements of his mom (as if the cool factor of making dinosaurs from paper wasn't high enough). Nevertheless, this is a neat book. Younger kids will naturally need some help but it is a lot of fun. Try using different color paper, or better, color random patterns on a sheet before you fold it. Nothing like a tie-dyed T-Rex!
