Each of these thirty-seven new projects is true origami-folded from a single piece of paper with no cutting or gluing-and is complete with clear step-by-step diagrams, instructions, and a photograph of the finished model.

Origami Zoo will challenge and delight anyone with a penchant for creating something wonderful out of (almost) nothing.

Lobser / Crap look cool!

Of all my origami books this is one of my least favorite. It does have some real Nice designs however half of the book the diagrams are not colored to assist with correct folds. All though it could have had better diagrams created all the projects in the book are fun to do.Difficulty:...

What A Zoo!

Origami Zoo compiled many animal models that we all know and the folds are not difficult and each model averages around 50 steps: Be forewarned that 2 of the models are folded from rectangles, and one model, the spider, is folded from a triangle which will upset some origami purists who like...

paper craft

This is harder than it looks. Patience is a requirement. My swan was all right, but I decided not to do any more. It just wasn't for me. Others may find it fun.

Nice Origami book.

Lang's book on Origami is a good buy for anyone interested in this ancient art of paper folding. It covers models that are simple to fold all the way to models that require more skill. It also includes quite a large variety of animals to explore.

Lots of animals - Intermediate to Advanced

There is a great selection of animals to make in this book. Some are very advanced and complicated. Others are easier and more familiar. If you are a beginner, but are familiar with folds and instructions, it is worth giving it a try for a challenge.

Absolute excellence... Don't Miss!

Even though the final models are *extremely* complex, the book begins with very interesting texts about origami origins, evolution and approaches to creation; and the models go in progression from the very simplest ones. So actually this is an excellent "transition" book - if you have some...

more animals please!!

besides knowing Lang's work as totally impressive and decently disturbing for a folder like me. The end remark would be buy the book and suffer the consequences. Two weeks ago I bought this book and had this hard time with almost all the folds especially when I tried the crab. The end product...
