Montroll Shows His Best, Again.,
By
This review is from: Prehistoric Origami: Dinosaurs and Other Creatures (Paperback)
A book about dinosaurs folded from paper, a simple idea, really. But take a deeper look, and this is one of the most engaging origami books on the subject ever-for that matter, perhaps it is one of the best origami books ever. I know it is one of my top ten books. Enough praise, you want to know what's in it. Well, as Montroll usually does, the beginning models are so easy, I think you could fold them from sheet metal...an egg, mountain, and tree. Soon though, the dinosaurs begin, and slowly but surely the difficulty rises, until culminating with a Stegosaurus. Other dinosaurs include, T-rex, a bunch of gliding dinos, and others such as Dimetrodon and Spinosaurus. I would recommend this to any Dinosaur fan, and/or origami fan. However, a true beginner would find this book to be boring, because after the three 'sheet metal' models, the difficulty rises 2 or 3 fold. If you can make the first 4 or 5, you can probably learn to make them all. In short, a great buy!

Excellent book, a classic dino origami book .,
By A Customer
This review is from: Prehistoric Origami: Dinosaurs and Other Creatures (Paperback)
In this book there are 20-more dinosaurs models, and most of them are not for beginners. Like Montroll's other books, there are some VERY COMPLEX models near the end of the book. This is an excellent book indeed, but compared with Fumiaki Kawahata's even excellent new dinosaur origami book, Montroll's models and foldings seem somewhat unnatually.

I love dinosaurs!!,
By Janek (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prehistoric Origami: Dinosaurs and Other Creatures (Paperback)
When i saw a dinosaur origami book i didn't think twice before buying it! I was bored with simple books making kitties and ducks, but these designs are very ORIGINAL! They are tricky and i often get frustrated with the complicated folds, but when i get a folded dinosaur all of my own in the end, I am so happy!! (No, I'm not a child either i just love dinosaurs!) I own a few origami books and have found this one is a favorite pick, besides the dinosaurs, i just love complicated folds! If you love dinosdaurs, origami, and a stiff challenge this book is for YOU!
