Overall Impression

Nothing too special about this small animal origami book. Most of the better models in it can be found in other sources, and most original material is in the work of Natale Fietta, who has a base for creating some nice water-fowls. The hand-drawn diagrams are of very good quality, and there are color photos of most of the models throughout the book.
