This review is from: Birds in Origami (Paperback)

This nice collection of birds ...a biginner, this is not the best place to get your feet wet. Some of the models I found frustrating. After a bit of practise on some basic models I found on the internet, I returned and found it easier going. This one makes a nice 2nd or 3rd purchase.

The Eagle and the Seagull are the neatest models here. The inclusion of both the Crane and the Flapping Bird would have made this a 5-star book. Still, for the price, its a good value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good collection of bird models, Feb 28 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Birds in Origami (Paperback)

This is actually a good collection of Montroll's birds. I find folding Montroll's birds a good break from some of the more complicated models and the book's price can't be beat. There are 15 models of birds consisting of a Duck, Swan, Goose, Flamingo, Pelican, Heron, Pheasant, Seagull, Hummingbird, Cardinal, Cormorant, Stork, Eagle, Canary, and Parrot. Although if you are looking for a book to get you started in Origami I would suggest "Teach Yourself Origami" which is a great book to work your way into Origami and Montroll's models.

This review is from: Birds in Origami (Paperback)

I bought three books lately and this is my favorite. It only cost about three bucks so you can't beat the price and the models are great. I particularly like the Parrot, Eagle and Humming bird. The most complicated bird is the Pheasant because of step 26, but it's probably just me. Get this book you will not regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Where's the Crane?
This is a great book, I love all the birds. The folds are real easy to learn. Great price. But the book loses one star based on the fact the most common origami bird is left... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars For intermediate-level folders.
Here are some fair origami birds. Good design, easy to fold. For origami fan and model designers, birds are relatively easy to handle. Read more
