Book Reviews of Easy Origami (Dover Origami Papercraft)
Book Review: Great Introduction To Origami! Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
We gave "Easy Origami" to my son when he was 10 because he asked to learn how to do Origami. This book was an inexpensive way to introduce the basic concepts and provided him with 32 fairly easy projects to learn. Two years later and he is now doing advanced Origami, but he started with this book.
The projects included in this book teach the classic Origami shapes (Swan, Frog, Boat, etc) and some fun shapes, like the Box. The skills learned using the projects in this book can be used when moving to more complicated projects.

Book Review: As easy as you can get
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of the simplest out there. I use this book with 4th-6th grade children who have never paper folded before. Although the direction key is at the beginning of the book, written instructions are still included with each figure enabling the reader to connect the symbols with the folding results. It such a great book to go at your own pace. The ease of the instructions allow the individual to begin to trust their own decisions of going back and redoing a particular fold.A little disclaimer: The simplicity of the first few pages are helpful to increase the comfort of paper folding. However, because they are not elaborate in design, some of the objects require a little imagination to "see" the animal or subject.
Book Review: An Excellent Introduction To Origami
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a good introduction to anyone who is interested in exploring origami and what it has to offer. The models in this book can be done by anyone, even if they have never had any origami experience. The diagrams are clear, concise, and to the point. By constructing the models in this book, one not only can create various paper works such as fish, birds, boats, windmills, but also learns basic origami folds and techniques which are fundamental to more intermediate and advanced folding, if one wishes to continue in this discipline. All in all, I highly recommend this book to beginners and newcomers to origami.Book Review: Perfect starter book for origami
Summary: 5 Stars
I teach an art program for children. Of the many glamorous origami books that I've used with my students, this is the book they always want - the book they grab and fight over! In fact so many of my copies have disappeared that now I need to order more! The price is right which is another great thing about this book. The projects are organized in a logical manner starting easy and getting progressively harder. Teachers: I always start my students off with guided instruction on the first few lessons, then they are usually capable of managing on their own.Book Review: fun way to use your hands
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw this and picked it up because I was curious and you can't go wrong for the price. A lot of fun and brought me back to the memories of doing this as a kid. And speaking or kids, mine love it. It's something that it not only relaxing to me, but that we can do together.
If you are looking for color, highly detailed photos, I would get another book. For a basic primer though, this can't be beat. I think it's a good one to see if you like Origami. If so, you can go to one of the more complicated (and expensive) books later.
