This review is from: Holiday Folding Stories: Storytelling and Origami Together for Holiday Fun (Paperback)
I bought this book after enjoying another, "Fold-Along Stories : Quick & Easy Origami Tales For Beginners" by Christine Petrell Kallevig.The models in this book is simple, very, very simple. Most adults even begineers prefer simple models with a bit more details, something easy to identify and to fold. Most of the models can be completed in less than 10 steps. This book is definitely not for people who prefer complicated models and those looking for new models to try out.
The stories here stress is on holidays, Columbus Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, May Day, and Mother's Day. In some instances, how the holiday arise would be described.
The usual flow goes as follows: The story would start, at a strategic point, a fold would be used to illustrate a step in the story. You will find that the story step synch very well with the folding step.
I find this book suitable for teachers who tell stories and wants to get the children to get more involve in the story. It is also suitable for teachers who teaches craft and wants to add another dimension into the craft.
The downside is that there are many cultures in this world that do not celebrate the holidays described, however, ideas gained can be easily adapted for other holidays suitable for your culture or country. The book is also rather expensive.
