Great book, with easy to follow steps. The choice of subject matter is certain to capture young minds, as well.

These are very cool, but quite difficult.

I very surprisingly liked this book! I don't care for dinosaurs or origami very much but I wanted to read something much different than what I'm used to reading (fiction!!!!). The instructional diagrams are quite clear and easy to follow (great for a kid who's just learning this art), there's not too much information on a page, and there's both a definition and an interesting fact for each dinosaur one creates. I liked it and know that artsy dino-loving kids would, too!

What better use for your reading skills than to make something cool? Make your own dinosaurs... out of paper! Amaze your friends. Make armies of dinosaurs. From very simple dinosaurs to an impressive T-Rex.
