Overall Impression

This is a little e-book with a few lovely fish and some scenery pieces for them. The cute, cartoonish fish are really nice and can be folded from pretty much any kind of paper. I did find the diagrams a bit confusing at times, but nothing that intermediate folders can't figure out.
