Jungle Animal Origami (repost)

Duy Nguyen, "Jungle Animal Origami"
English | 2004 | ISBN: 1402717644 | 96 pages | PDF | 10,2 MB

From Booklist
Gr. 4-12. Origami master Nguyen offers another title of challenging exercises for nimble paper artists. An introductory section reviews materials and basic folds in clear language and diagrams, but the projects (not rated for difficulty) are intricate constructions of animals that require fairly advanced skills. The book title is misleading as most of the "jungle animals" in the projects actually live in the African savannah, and not all of the finished projects bear an immediate resemblance to the animals they represent.

But young people with some paper-folding experience and who are willing to practice will be able to follow the mostly accessible instructions, and they'll enjoy Nguyen's charge to paint, embellish, and personalize their creations to make them more imaginative or realistic: "After all, a zebra without stripes is just a horse." As in his Fantasy Origami (2002), Nguyen enhances the sense of realism with photos of the finished origami animals in natural, grassy habitats. Not a necessary purchase, but useful for serious origami enthusiasts. Gillian Engberg
