SUMMARY- I love that origamists often collaborate on books and kits like this, with "guest appearances" happily credited by the author. There are some really cute models in this kit, and it's the first where I got an assortment of banknotes from around the world to play with(play money, of course). The wallet paper is also preprinted to look like wallet leather, and the model is just plain cool. I bought it for the dragon model, of course, but I stayed for all the other charms Ms. Gross suffused it with. I'm a fan of several of her other books, so picking this up was a no-brainer. My only quibble is with the box it comes in - which has a cool window and insert that allows for an already folded frog to be displayed like with the Thunder Bay Press kits. Unlike the Thunder Bay Press Kits, the box is very thin and easily destroyed - mine came crushed in the mail and no amount of mailing tape could restore it to its former glory. At least my frog's intact. If you come across this kit, snag it, you'll have a lot of fun with it.
