Ideal for classroom or hobbyroom use, Michael Grater's entertaining book shows how to construct a myriad of shapes - each one hidden in a piece of paper and just waiting to be lifted out. Clear step-by-step instructions and 92 vivid illustrations allow paper engineers of all ages to create such fanciful figures as a shark, frog, tortoise, seahorse and crocodile, a leaping lizard, rabbit and horse, as well as a lavish fireworks display and a portrait gallery of delightful faces.
Here's an unusual and inexpensive learning tool that parents and teachers can use to develop a child's sense of color and pattern and to encourage creativity and imagination.
