Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 5 Up-After opening directions for several folds and starting "bases," Nguyen diagrams 14 original designs for prehistoric creatures, including most of the usual suspects, plus a winged Pteranodon, a seagoing Muraenosaur, and a "Fantasy Dilophosaur" with spreading neck frills. Nearly all are two-piece models, and require not only paper, but also glue and, extensively so in the case of the Stegosaur, scissors work. These dinos have a distinctive look that experienced folders on the hunt for something different will enjoy attempting, but such collections as Yoshihide Momotani's Origami Dinosaurs (Kodansha, 1993; o.p.) or John Montroll's Prehistoric Origami (Dover, 1990; o.p.) offer wider ranges of both figures and difficulty.

Book Description
To bring back the age of the dinosaurs, all it takes is folding some pieces of paper! Using the ancient and magnificent art of origami, construct an entire prehistoric world of dinos. Mastering the basic folds is so simple that it takes less than 10 pages of instruction to show you how to. Once you've got those down, start having fun. Follow the generously sized, colorful diagrams and see the animals' bodies emerge, including a long-necked, graceful brontosaurus; the squat, low-to-the-ground pelycosaur; and a velociraptor, looking all ready to head out on the hunt. Or, try your hand at the pteranodon, compsognathus, triceratops, tyrannosaurus, stegosaurus, ankylosaurus, and more.

Good basic dinosaurs,

Ce commentaire est de: Dinosaur Origami (Hardcover)
This book contains a small collection of dinosaur models. Some require a little more imagination than others, but the origami enthusiast should be able to create a nice collection of prehistoric beasts in just a short time.The illustrations are very clear and easy to follow and the overall look of the book is very pleasing utilizing clear creative photography. There is some use of multiple pieces of paper which might be unwelcome to some folders, but it is a nice collection of animals at a beginner to low-intermediate level.

Some of the explanations should be made more clear,

You need patience with Origami, if you have the patience these models will please your students. My students made these models (5th grade) to go along with a dinosaur unit.

Dinosaur Origami,

Ce commentaire est de: Dinosaur Origami (Hardcover)
I strongly disagreed with the previous reviewer. My 8 year old son picked up the first book (Fantasy Origamy) and folded a whale in 2 tone colors in 30 mins. He took the book and shared it with his classmates and many of his friends folded different animals during free-time without any guidance (and enjoyed the activity tremendously). I personally think the instruction is very easy to understand; The cutting to accomplished difficult shapes and curves (which makes the animal looks real) is very innovative and artistic by itself. Who said origami (or ART in that matter) has to conform to traditional style without cutting(?) My son was so excited today when I got him the dinosaur book since he recognized all the name and shapes of the dinosaurs. He can not wait to share the book again to his classmates tomorrow.
