There is a cool selection of origami things to make. however it took me 2 hours to make one of the simpler ones because I couldnt figure out what it was "showing" you to do! there is literaly 1 or NO words in every set of "instructions" like "turn".....well ok but WHICH WAY?? It would be a little better if the steps were smaller because once I did figure out that step. I said to myself. " there could be at least 1 or 2 more steps in between these 2 steps!!" So i dont recommend this book for people who dont have a lot of paitience!!! :(0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One of My FavoritesBy rensThis book is one of my favorites. I gave it as a gift for a jr. high age boy excited about paper folding. He had already tried several projects successfully from my own copy. There are origami projects from "easy" to "challenging" within the book. satisfying all levels of paper folding. I really like how pictures of the actual project blend into a full color illustration of what it is. Step-by-step directions are understandable if you know the basics of paper folding.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.
