(4) 4-6 Amazing Origami series. In each volume, two somewhat boilerplate double-page spreads give a bit of background to this traditional Japanese craft and list the materials and basic techniques required to complete six or seven projects. Step-by-step illustrated instructions lead to three-dimensional miniature dogs, mice, iguanadons, gift boxes, rockets, boats, and more. Precision required--not for the impatient! Ind. Review covers these Amazing Origami titles: Amazing Origami Animals, Amazing Origami Dinosaurs, Amazing Origami Gifts, and Amazing Origami Vehicles.
