Let me begin by saying that BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ORIGAMI by
Pasquale D'Auria is by far the best choice of a gift for
any occasion. This is an exquisite story book that
encourages the reader to participate with a collection of
wonderfully constructed origami characters and structures
that enhance the storyline. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ORIGAMI is
a gorgeous hard cover book with hidden treasures.
The origami projects in BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ORIGAMI are a
little more complex and challenging so this book would best
fit a slightly older elementary student and up. The forty
five sheets of origami papers are printed with the required
artwork for the items which include everything from the
rose, a horse, the beast and of course the beauty -- plus
lots more. There are many background scenic structures that
take a bit more time, patience and origami talent. Terrific
way to learn a new art form.
The story artwork is equally beautiful and acts as a
background for all the wondrous origami articles that are
clearly illustrated -- with step by step directions as how
to. This isn't a one time construction book. They have
provided multiple copies of the papers specific to certain
items. So there is room for more than one participant. So
many pluses.
So if you are looking for a creative gift idea you need
look no further. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ORIGAMI is going to
fly off the shelves.
After enjoying a modern retelling of the classic fairy tale,
boys and girls can create many of the characters and props
with the 45 sheets of pre-printed origami paper included.
Features full-color and easy-to-follow instructions for
folding Bella and her beautiful white horse, the Beast and
his castle, the fairy, one of the wolves, a rose, the clock,
and a crown.
