"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.

The fantastic creatures in this beautiful and colorful collection may exist only in storybooks-but with some paper, simple origami folds, and Duy Nguyen's incredibly detailed illustrations as a guide, they can spring to life right in your hands. Some come from Greek mythology: the mysterious Sphinx; Cerberus, the fierce dog that guards the underworld; and Medusa, with her snaky locks and deadly looks. Others, including Shiva Nataraja, have their origins in Indian legend. Magical fairy tale characters, such as a mermaid, unicorn, and dragon, populate the pages, too. All the basic folds and symbols needed for the origami figures appear right up front, fully diagrammed and easy to follow.
