This is more of a beginner book although the title does not really imply that. There are 25 designs of which 18 are simple, 5 intermediate and 2 advanced. Personally, I would have liked to see more intermediate and advanced creations in the book considering this was a collaboration of two people. The illustrations are very good and the step-by-step instructions are easy to follow. The book comes with an envelope of colored origami paper attached to the inside back cover. One of the other gripes I have is that the color selection of paper that comes with the book is limited. For example, the Penguin design states to use paper with Black on one side, and Pig calls for Pink paper. Sadly, neither of these colors are included with the paper supply.My daughter and I have made many of the designs. She likes the Butterfly and Cat the best. The Giraffe which looks impressive on the front cover is not a very good design as it is difficult to make it stand on its own. We've tried making it several times being very careful with the folds, but still not easy to make a stand-up version. I like the Pig design as it uses a single piece of paper unlike designs from other books which use multiple pieces (but you'll still have to find some pink paper). The Fox is a neat design as well.Overall, it is a good book targeted more at beginners. You'll probably find yourself wanting to buy a more advanced book soon after getting this one.
It is awesome! I'm going to have an origami gallery in my room. This is the boy speaking. I still love it! It's like I'm almost going to do all of them!!!!!!!!!!!! This is perfect for me! Yay! Yay!! Yay!!!
The book begins with very simple projects but as the book progresses, the projects get a little more difficult.I especially like making the cat, the pig, and other intermediate models. The directions are clear and understandable.I started out with the kindle version and liked the book so I bought the book too.
This book has good models and clear, easy-to-follow instructions. I especially like the T-Rex - a little more advanced, but very do-able.
