I was not compensated.An SEM image shows an origami tetrahedra microstructure that self-folded after it was exposed to hydrogen. I received a complimentary copy from Candlewick Press to facilitate a review.

I found this book to be entertaining and packed with the lesson of how one should keep trying to master a task until they accomplish it and how to stay cheerful while doing so. The illustrations show Joey and his family and friends drawn with boldness and colors that will grab the attention of the young child. The story is sweet and will encourage a child that is trying to learn to do something new. Then he found a new way to practice that actually helped a friend. Joey practiced and found it was much harder to do than he thought. Then (yep, enter the Oriental influence) young Sarah Takimoto's mother visited the school and a new type of folding was introduced into the life of young Joey. 'Joey loved things that folded.' He love his accordian, had a folding bed to sleep in, and loved to fold road maps.

That is certainly the case with young Joey. However, anyone who loves folding paper to make pretty objects can fall in love with the art form of Origami. The art of Origami is typically thought to be Oriental. Recommended to young crafters, or to anyone looking for picture-books featuring children who pursue their hobbies with enthusiasm. I also appreciated the fact that instructions for folding your own origami ladybug are included at the rear. Brian Karas made quite a few of the pages look like sheets of origami paper, with subtle lines and creases running across them.

I particularly liked the fact that illustrator G. How can he become a master when he can't practice? Fortunately a visit to his favorite Mexican restaurant provides him with the perfect venue for practice.Īn engaging tale of a boy pursuing his new passion, More-igami features a fun story, a diverse cast of characters, and appealing artwork done in gouache and pencil. Determined to master this wonderful paper art form, he takes to practicing at every opportunity, only to run into trouble when his mother becomes impatient at his incessant folding of every paper in sight. Interested in anything that folds, Joey is entranced when a classmate's mother gives an origami demonstration at school.
