Summary: Some pearls in it
Review: In fact I give this book 4.5 stars. For most experienced folders, the first half models of this book cannot satisfy them. And along the rapid development of origami science these days, this book seems staying in the past time. However, there are some true gems in it. I like Montroll's Moose very much.(I think it is the best moose design so far) And I very much like the models contributed by Japenese origami nova Fumiaki Kawabata (this book is first published in 1995, and now in 1999 he is really a superstar in origami world).

Summary: Instant Classic - just add water!
Review: Montroll does it again. This book is full of North American animals (and a couple plants) that are both fun to make, and lifelike (especially wet-folded). The book has a few decent models for all difficulty levels, with the average model probably somewhere between a 2 or 3 star. This book makes use of a few inside-out folded models (that is, the white vs. color plays a key part in the models design (snowy owl, raccoon)). I would recommend this book to all fans of origami, whether an expert or a beginning for some truly unique models. (One of my favorites is the prickly pear cactus, which is great for a wide variety of scenes).

Bottom Line:
Highly Recommended (9.2 / 10)

Summary: Challanging and Rewarding
Review: North American Animals in Origami is one of my favorites. While most of the models took me a few stabs at the results are very rewarding. Montroll's style and clearly defined directions make his models a joy and challenge to fold. Here is the following models in "North American Animals in Origami": Duck, Swan, Heron, Roadrunner, Saguaro Cactus, Prickly-Pear Cactus, Jack Rabbit, Mouse, Armadillo, Bald Eagle, Bighorn Sheep, Bobcat, Great Horned Owl, Quail, Pheasant, Squirrel, Beaver, Black Bear, Coyote, Bison, Raccoon, Deer, Snowy Owl, Musk Ox, and Moose.
