An excellent first origami book for any child
I am a veteran in origami, and after carefully looking at numerous books, chose this book as the first origami book for my 7 year old daughter. She absolutely loves it, and is able to slowly work her way through the models which range from the very simple cats and dogs, and slowly increase in difficulty through a fox, a piano, a butterly, a fancy box, plus lots lots more. All are within easy reach of a complete beginner. I don't think I could have chosen a better beginners books for her, and have since gone on to buy 4 further copies for several of her friends and my niece! I would recommend this book to any child who would like to learn origami without any hesitation. Brilliant!

Great value book
The strength of this book is the low price and large range of projects. At the lower price you do lose out on other helpful features, like explanatory text and photographs, so younger children may well need help to follow the line drawing instructions, but the actual projects are realtively easy, and good quality.

A real bargain!

10 out of 32 ain't bad
This book would be great for kids. I bought it as a stress reliever for my husband. We had fun trying to make some of the designs but we did find some mistakes in the directions. I'm not sure a child would have been able to figure those mistakes out alone. He'd need an adult to help. There are 32 designs, but only about 10 of those truly make you feel accomplished when you finish making them and are "interesting" to look at when you are done. But 10 out of 32 ain't bad, is it?
