Nice book for beginners as well as the average origamist. The book begins with the explanation of the fundamentals of paper-folding and the international signs used in the diagrams. This is a good start to begin with.
In the following chapters all kinds of figures, birds, and objects are created using only a single square piece of paper.
A special section gives compound figures which are composed of more than one piece of paper.
The simple objects can also made by children. Many of the object can be used as decorations on cards.
It's a book you will grab more than once to find new ideas or discover new features.

Don't be fool by the title. While there are some easy models like the crane most are suit for those who already experience folders yet want something easy to work on for fun.

Another origami book that I've just about worn through over the years. It's in Japanese, though, so make sure you know the origami symbolism before attempting.
