"A good choice for paper-folding enthusiasts who enjoy challenges."--School Library Journal

From ants to open-mouthed alligators, from turtles to tarantulas, young crafters can make a really cool origami menagerie of creepy-crawly creatures using only some simple paper folds. The detailed instructions are all laid out in generously sized full-color illustrations. Practice the folds: the kite, valley, mountain, squash, inside and outside reverse, and four others, to use as a base. Big bright diagrams guide children through the 14 projects, like the lobster that has quite a realistic-looking shell; eight legged grasshopper; gecko with claws and long tail; winged dragonfly; plus a scary scorpion, komodo dragon, mosquito, praying mantis, and wasp.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-8-Origami purists should be aware that all of the 13 creatures diagrammed here require scissors cuts, and several are assembled with glue. The results range from a clean-lined sea turtle to a highly stylized gecko, from a balloon-bodied tarantula to a wasp and a dragonfly with spiky looks and unusually long, slender legs. Nguyen includes drawings and color photos of finished models, and uses standard origami notation in his easy-to-follow diagrams; he also opens with instructions for several common folds and bases-which will likely be superfluous, as these models are not for beginners. A good choice for paper-folding enthusiasts who enjoy challenges.
