[Robert · Rating 2 out of 5]

I have no recollection of where/where this book came from. This is a typical origami book that confuses the heck out of me. In describing certain folds they use terminology like fold the paper toward/away from you. Yet, the diagrams for those folds are the direct opposite of what I consider toward/away from me. Thus, why I struggle following written directions for origami. I always have and suspect I always will.

I keep this in my origami file, but have not referenced it in years.

This is a fun book that teaches how to make origami animals. It prepares you with some basic forms and then offers fifty different creatures, gradually increasing in complexity. We enjoyed making a few of these creatures.
