Okay, so you guys pretty much know that I am completely and totally in love with all things paper, right? Right. K. SOooooo....it just makes sense that when I was asked to review this book I HAPPILY accepted!
World's Best Oragami by Nick Robinson is a really fantastic Oragami book.
The book lays out step by step instructions for all kinds of really fun and creative paper folding projects. The steps are SO clear and easy to follow! I love that! They are simple, black and white drawings that allow you to really see what you need to do to complete your project.
This book teaches readers how to:
- Choose the best paper for the project
- Make basic folds and perfect creases
- Follow clear and simple folding instructions for a successful project outcome
- Gain an understanding of origami symbols
It really is SUCH a neat compilation and there are SO many designs from basic to really intricate! That is so cool!
Here is some info about the author:

ReplyDeleteI hve never tried oragami, however, my grandson is an avid oragami maker. He always checks out books from the library on how to make them. It would be nice for him to have his own book.
