The Origami Under the Sea book is an awesome book with many very well diagramed models of which all but 4 of the 26 models are the exact same model as in the previously released book, Origami Sea Life, which contains 38 models. The 4 new models are a very simple ray, a swordfish (which I like less than the sailfish model which was left out of this book), a very nice Siamese Fighting Fish, and a Gourami. There are 16 models from the original book Origami Sea Life which were left out of this book including one of my favorites, the Blue Shark. I was very dissappointed when I found that the book was basically a repackaged & reduced version of the original book. If you have Origami Sea Life I don't recommend this book, if you don't already have it and can't get Origami Sea Life, I highly recommend it. If this was an original book I would have given it 5 stars. John Montroll and Robert Lang are two of the best origami artists and are very good at creating amazing origami peices with clear diagrams that can be followed.

| Easy origami - John Montroll | ||

| Publisher | Dover Publications (October 5, 1992) | |
| Pages | ||
| Description | The models in this book are suitable for children and beginner origami enthusiasts. Models at the beginning of the book require 10 or less steps to complete. These are straight forward models that use valley and mountain folds only. These 4 models are easy to make but one builds upon the next. The latter 3 models begin with the House as a starting point. Note how different they all look despite the fact that they are made from the same base. | |
