I'm six years old and I'm in first grade. I found this Super Simple Origami book in the first grade section of the library at my school. The title said super simple origami. It was not simple at all! It was too hard. Never buy or borrow this book.

From the mom: I helped my son type this review. He was so excited to try out folding, and got so frustrated. We tried several of the designs. I will also be speaking to the librarian about a more appropriate section for the book. Unfortunately, the school only goes up to fourth grade.

Simple origami is not necessarily boring origami. While the models in this book are simple enough for children to learn many adults will find plenty of models to add to their repertoire. The illustrations are large, the photographs of the finished model are very detailed and the instructions are easy to follow. This book will provide many hours of fun for teachers and students, parents and children and the origami enthusiast.

I have this book, I like the models, and they are presented well,even showing how to use them, and I am a folder! BUT... the instructions are not simple. A folder who has folded a moderate amount can figure out the instructions and complete the models without too much stress. But a beginner adult or child will have trouble!
An adult who has never folded trying to fold with a child might have trouble and it is certainly not the book for children to pickup to use first time. You'll be frustrated and not fold!
So get some experience, be prepared to think it through, you'll need patience, but the models are good.

OK- I am very new to Origami,and need detailed instructions in ENGLISH. I did not find this book to be super simple as the title promised. The book uses the complicated origami language throughout. If you do not understand the international origami code, then you will find this book to be super difficult.

Well That's The Name Super Simple, This Is For Children Who Aren't Good Enough For The Tough Stuff. If Your Friend Says to You That You Stink At Origami. Well, If they Say That Than That Probably Means They're Way Better Than You. But After You Read This Book , You Will Be One Step Closer To Making The Tiger Your Friend Can Make But You Can't!
