Gr 4-7-Satisfy your enthusiastic paper folders with the eight models presented in each volume of this series. All the details that lead to origami success are here-the paper size is specified for each project, text instructions are augmented with small but abundant photos of the model at every stage, and there's a key to notation and visual glossary of standard folds at the front of each book. A few sentences introduce each model to provide information about the animal, holiday, or machine being built but don't get too bogged down in specifics. Similarly, the graph paper background and the palette of primary colors keep things clean and streamlined. An unobtrusive arrow helps readers navigate from one numbered step to the next. VERDICT Lots of options, clearly presented for upper elementary and middle schoolers.
