Looking for origami books for my 8 year old to do while on a cruise. Simple, and easy to follow from what I've seen when I was quickly reading through it.

Quite dated though, and I'm not actually sure there are any I would want my daughter to try.

Poor directions

A good little beginners guide for learning the art origami. The pieces are explained well with photos of each step. Nevertheless, it could do with some more more origami exercises.
