Not having had any experience working with origami in probably two decades or more, I wasn't familiar with Mr. Montroll's other work when discovering 'Perfect Pets Origami' via a Goodreads Giveaway. Was surprised to win the book, and when it arrived I loved the large format, even if the book seemed on the thin side.
But then I opened it, and for a thin book could not believe the variety of intricate, beautifully-constructed origami animals the resided inside! Pigs, snails, turtles, a huge variety of fish so you can even create your own aquarium - even when some of the extremely-detailed illustrations seemed almost in a foreign language to me (I have since tried a few designs - my favorite so far is the snail - and with focus the illustrations are actually a perfect guide, making things in fact pretty easy) I was getting more and more excited with each page I turned. Colorful, fun, and even illustrated with photos of what the finished product should look like, 'Perfect Pets Origami' brought back some warm, terrific memories of childhood - and opened up a whole new world, for me, of a new hobby that is relaxing, satisfying, and in its way genuinely fascinating. Highly recommended.
I received a copy of this book from Goodreads Giveaways, in exchange for an honest review.
