Book Reviews of Easy Origami (Dover Origami Papercraft)
Book Review: Starts simple and stays simple
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good starter book as it claims to be.. but as I leafed through it I realized that anyone who has had even some remote experience with origami or paper crafts will find this book ... perhaps too basic.
I was hoping for at least a couple of more 'exciting' or slightly advanced projects at the end of the book, but the book stays simple till the end. Also, paper with both coloured sides looks better even for some of the basic designs.
Other than that, it offers exactly what it says on the cover.
Book Review: Excellent Beginner Book for Children
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book as part of a set for my 6 year old who liked folding paper airplanes and fortune tellers. He fell in love with it, and we did it for 2 hours straight on the first day. The directions were very step by step for him and he got used to it pretty easily.
After looking at other "easy origami" titles from the library, this is the best beginner book I have seen. My only challenge is to find something similar or maybe just a little harder for us to continue on with.
Book Review: Good challenging start at Oragami ... Well worth it
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this for my 7 year old. The book has some easy start Origami (swan, fish, etc.) and then moves toward others that are more challenging (water bomb, frog, etc.). She really enjoys it. I can see more Origami in her future :) (NOTE: it does not include paper, so I purchased Origami Paper Traditional Prints 8 1/4" 49 Sheets).Book Review: Nice stocking stuffer
Summary: 4 Stars
This little bookk, at a great price, makes a nice intro to origami. It is very basic. I found that most of the paterns in this book are repeated in Montroll's "Teach Yourself Origami," so I passed this on on to a cousin who was intrigued when she saw what I'd been doing. It's fine as far as it goes, but it isn't intended to go vary far. You can't beat the price. I thought it was a misprint.Book Review: Easy Origami
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is very kool! If you want to do something to pass the time, buy this book. It is reasonably priced and after you do a few foldings, you can really use anything to fold with, not just the origami paper. It is fun and relaxing. I like the ease of the book. Because it is so simplified, you are able to remember the folds, and, there with you for a lifetime.
