This book covers oragami,as well as the principles of flight in easily understandable language. The folding instructions, for over 40 planes, are complete and easy to follow and the results are all excellent performers. The book is beautifully illistrated with photographs of the finished planes. The book can be enjoyed by both childern and adults and makes a great gift.

my grade school age son loves this book. good directions for complex folds.

Paper airplane books and paper folding books can be very difficult to follow. Paper Airplanes instructions are clear and easy to follow. It does help to have played with origami a little but most of the planes use only simple folds.

I have used Paper Airplanes which Amazon shows as publisher out of stock. I'm only assuming that Super Simple Paper Airplanes is very similar. The cover art is the same.

When my boys were around 3 and 5 they really got interested in paper airplanes. We went to the library and borrowed several books. This was by far the best. They borrowed it again, and again. Until, we finally bought our own. Some of the folds were a bit tough, but what a great way to spend time with your child? Paper is cheap and it is so good for them. Following directions, copying the pictures. Sure beats video games! It actually inspired them to draw their own instructions for airplanes that they made up! My recycle bin was FULL of airplanes :)
The family has grown now to 5 kids and the paper airplane phase is starting up once again : However, someone came over and....the book is gone : So we bought 4 more on Amazon! 2 for us, and 2 for gifts. My boys favorite planes were "The Little Nick" and "The Hawk Dart". Great book.

All notifications and shipping were ok, but the quality of the book was not accurately described. This book was very worn looking and the spine of the book was torn.

I have no qualms with the book itself, in truth I have yet to read it, but what peeves me is that I have no guarantee or proof that I'm actually buying Super Simple Paper Airplanes. I can't even make a simple glider. What am I supposed to do with a book that is under the assumption that your hand-eye coordination is functioning at the speed of light? What about people like me who trip over their hands because we are so clumsy, where's an example to whet our appetite for this book? So far, all I have is Amazon's summary and other people's reviews. But that is not to say that the people at Amazon or the customer's who bought it are experts, they could be intermediate flyers or beginner flyers. I probably need Making Paper Airplanes 101 I'm so bad.
