Horrorgami: Spooky Paper Folding for Children

Summary: flat origami
Review: I got this book so I could review it for a present, but I found that the most interesting models are flat. This may be ok for some, but I like origami to be three dimensional. I am trying to improve the bat design for halloween to use it as decoration right now. This can be done by folding lines that converge in the upper angle of the wings. Maybe I will try and make an origami head too... as it is cut in the book.

Summary: Fun Halloween origami that I had never seen before.
Review: I had a lot of fun making the origami in this book for Halloween decorations. I especially liked the fangs and the spider. I think the Biddles have come up with some creative origami designs that I have never seen elsewhere. The book come with enough paper to make all the designs. My only complaint is that although the paper was nicely preforated, it wasn't exactly square. Still, it was a fun way to introduce origami to the kids.

Summary: Cut here and glue there
Review: This book has some cute ideas but there is a lot of cutting and gluing involved. The authors do have a couple of pretty good origami books "Essential Origami" and "The New Origami" but unfortunately this is not one of them. I do not mind models made from more than one square but please, no cutting and gluing. Maybe the origami world needs a good halloween themed book.
