Excellent!
15 Dec 2001
Format:Hardcover
Every once in a while, comes an origami book I would rave about.
This is one such book.
This is an excellent book for begineers. This is also an excellent book to give to a child to stimulate creativity. It is an excellent present.
Do not expect diagrams. All the folding instructions are in pictures (photographs).
The book has the following sections:
1) Introduction - briefly describes what you need to begin with and tips
2) Folds & Bases - basic techniques are discussed here.
3) Basic models - mainly traditional models - traditional models often has a charm of its own, simple yet effective. That is why it survive so long.
4) Containers - how to fold useful items that you can use
5) Novelty items - an interesting section which includes an action model - a beating heart (a much requested for model).
6) Modular designs - beautiful rings, stars and balls - ideal for decoration for any festive occasion.
7) Animals and Plants - baby rabbit, a cute fat rabbit, caterpillar, bird, cat face, flapping bird and many others.
8) Transport - jet plane, train set, truck, yacht, chinese junk and others. This is an unusual section since it is rare for a begineers book to include this.
9) Complex models - for begineers who have loves challengers
10) where to get more
I have so many favourite models in this book and it is difficult for me to choose one which I like best.
This book covers a wide range of topics and leaves you hungry for more.
So what are you waiting for????
Get it!

Format:Hardcover
We bought this book for our elementary school library and it stays checked out. Fun projects, clear and easy-to-follow instructions and updated layout make it a fun read. Moms who have seen this book buy it for their kids.
